Built by QuantCommons' quantitative engine, this page is about relative opportunity, not data on SCCO alone. It places SCCO (Southern Copper Corporation) against 12 popular alternatives, its neighboring categories and the entire market of over 10,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, and surfaces what has done better on consistent outperformance, return for the risk taken, behavior in real market crashes and diversification. The result is a clearer view of where SCCO stands in the market, and of the alternatives worth a closer look.

Period covered: SCCO's full trading record, from January 1996 through September 2026. All returns include reinvested dividends. Data as of October 20, 2026.

## Key findings

- **Right now:** SCCO has outpaced the market, rising 17.6% over the past 3 months against 3.9% for the S&P 500 and 3.2% for the Nasdaq 100. Its metals & mining peers were far apart over the past 3 months, from ERO (Ero Copper, up 31.1%) to RIO (Rio Tinto Group, up 1.1%).
- **Stock or market?:** More than an industry move: SCCO rose 17.6% over the past 3 months, against 7.2% for the metals & mining ETF COPX (Global X - Copper Miners ETF). The S&P 500 rose 3.9%. Its metals & mining peers did not move as one over the past 3 months: ERO (Ero Copper) rose 31.1%, while RIO (Rio Tinto Group) rose 1.1%.
- **Past 1 to 3 years:** Over the past year, SCCO rose 56.5% against 15.8% for the S&P 500 and 17.9% for the Nasdaq 100. The same gap shows up over 3 years (233% against 89.3%). On the flip side, SCCO led its metals & mining peers in 2023, then fell behind FCX (Freeport-McMoRan) and TGB (Trekor Metals) in 2025.
- **Long term:** SCCO turned $10,000 into $112,000 over the past decade, against $42,100 in the S&P 500. SCCO's 10-year return of 1,017% puts it ahead of 95% of the stocks worth at least $300 million with that much history. The S&P 500 returned 321%.
- **In a crash:** Across seven sell-offs, SCCO has typically fallen 1.5 times as far as the S&P 500. The 2022 bear market took 43.0% off SCCO, against 24.5% for the S&P 500. That was more than BHP (BHP Group, 31.8%) but less than FCX (Freeport-McMoRan, 51.3%).
- **Diversification:** Over 10 years, SCCO's beta versus the S&P 500 was 1.13: in the S&P 500's rising months it gained 1.4 times as much as the index, and in falling months it lost 1.0 times as much. SCCO is some diversification, but not a hedge: a correlation of 0.43 with the S&P 500 over 5 years and 0.43 with the total US market, more closely than 58% of stocks worth at least $300 million.
- **Better options**
  - **Nearby categories and themes:** ESLT (Elbit Systems, aerospace & defense) and HWM (Howmet Aerospace, aerospace & defense) earned more than SCCO with less volatility over the past 5 years. ESLT returned 39.8% a year at 34.6% volatility, against 32.0% a year at 40.7%.
  - **Whole market:** Few investments have done better on both counts: only 37 of the 3,633 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million earned more than SCCO with less volatility over the past 5 years, among them LLY (Eli Lilly and Company), HSBC and GE (GE Aerospace).

## How much would $10,000 in SCCO have grown?

This chart tracks a hypothetical $10,000 investment in SCCO over the past 29 years, with dividends reinvested, alongside the same amount in the S&P 500, investments that ended ahead of SCCO over the same span and SCCO's popular alternatives, among those that traded for the entire period.

- $10,000 invested in SCCO at the end of September 1997 would have grown to $2,677,967 by September 2026, more than the $132,907 it would have become in SPY, an S&P 500 fund.
- Five of the eight other investments on the chart ended ahead of SCCO, and MNST finished highest, at $45,663,831.

## Risk and diversification

How SCCO has fallen, how it held up in crashes beside the S&P 500 and its popular alternatives, and what moves independently of it.

ESLT returned 39.8% a year at 34.6% volatility, against 32.0% a year at 40.7%. Few investments have done better on both counts: only 37 of the 3,633 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million earned more than SCCO with less volatility over the past 5 years, among them LLY, HSBC and GE.

### Is SCCO more volatile than the S&P 500?

Yes. SCCO's volatility over the past 5 years was 40.7%, 2.4 times the S&P 500's 17.1%. Volatility measures how widely returns swing around their average: in roughly two years out of three, SCCO's return lands within 40.7% of its average, either way. The higher it is, the rougher the ride and the harder it is to hold through a slump.

### What is SCCO's Sharpe ratio?

SCCO's Sharpe ratio over the past 5 years was 0.89, against 0.79 for the S&P 500, so SCCO earned more for each unit of risk than an index fund did. The Sharpe ratio is the return earned above cash for each unit of volatility: two investments with the same return are not equal if one got there with far bigger swings.

### How correlated is SCCO with the S&P 500?

Over the past 5 years, SCCO's monthly returns had a correlation of 0.43 with the S&P 500. Correlation runs from 1 (moving in lockstep) through 0 (unrelated) to −1 (moving in opposite directions). They often move together: some diversification next to an index fund, but not a cushion. In the table, the correlation column measures each option against SCCO instead: the lower it is, the more that option would diversify a SCCO holding.

### What are the best alternatives to SCCO?

None of the 12 popular alternatives we compared outperformed SCCO in at least 3 of 5 short-term and 2 of 3 long-term timeframes, which says more about SCCO's strength than about its alternatives.

### Did SCCO outperform the S&P 500?

SCCO finished ahead of the S&P 500 (SPY) in 17 of 29 full calendar years. In 2025, it returned +66.7%, against +17.7% for the index.

### How did SCCO do in stock market crashes?

SCCO fell less than the S&P 500 (SPY) in three of the ten major crashes it has traded through, and further in six. The clearest case was the 2008 financial crisis, when SCCO fell 78.5% and the S&P 500 fell 55.2%.

### What diversifies SCCO?

These had a low correlation with SCCO over the past 5 years and still earned a positive 5-year return: among large ETFs, DXJ (correlation 0.43), EMLP (correlation 0.40) and HDV (correlation 0.49); among large stocks, CAH (correlation 0.10), CLS (correlation 0.11) and FIX (correlation 0.16). A correlation near zero means the two have moved largely independently.
