Key Points

  • Five mining stocks to watch: IREN, Caterpillar (CAT), Newmont (NEM), Freeport-McMoRan (FCX), and TeraWulf (WULF) were flagged by MarketBeat's screener for the highest recent dollar trading volume.
  • Sector characteristics and risks: Mining stocks offer exposure to commodity prices and potential growth or dividends but are cyclical, volatile, and subject to operational, regulatory, and geopolitical risks.
  • Notable outlier: IREN Limited operates bitcoin-mining data centers, distinguishing it from the other names that focus on traditional metals like gold and copper.
  • Five stocks we like better than IREN.

IREN, Caterpillar, Newmont, Freeport-McMoRan, and TeraWulf are the five Mining stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Mining stocks are shares of publicly traded companies engaged in the exploration, development, and extraction of minerals and metals (such as gold, copper, coal, and rare earths). Stock market investors buy them to gain exposure to commodity prices and potential growth or dividends, but they tend to be cyclical and volatile and are affected by operational, regulatory, and geopolitical risks. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mining stocks within the last several days.
