By Alex · Tickerpine
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. vs Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., side by side — the numbers that matter, in plain English. No “winner” hype; you decide.
| Metric | FCX | MLM |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $59.24 | $513.61 |
| Market cap | $85.01B | $36.53B |
| P/E ratio | 24.9 | 38.3 |
| ROE | 15.72% | 6.02% |
| Profit margin | 13.03% | 31.88% |
| Revenue growth | 8.20% | 28.30% |
| Dividend yield | 1.01% | 0.65% |

Green = the more favorable figure for that metric (lower P/E, higher ROE, margin, growth and yield). Not a recommendation.
