About
AVEVA is an industrial software company founded in 1967 at the Cambridge University Computer Laboratory and headquartered in Cambridge, United Kingdom, that provides engineering design, operations management, and industrial information management software for asset-intensive industries. The company was built around the belief that the engineering and operational complexity of industries like oil and gas, power, chemicals, and mining requires purpose-built software — not adapted enterprise platforms. AVEVA's mission is to help industrial organizations improve engineering performance, operational efficiency, and sustainability through connected industrial intelligence. Schneider Electric completed its full acquisition of AVEVA in January 2023.\n\nAVEVA's platform spans the industrial lifecycle: AVEVA E3D for 3D engineering design, AVEVA MES for manufacturing execution, AVEVA PI System for operations data management, AVEVA Unified Operations Center for real-time operational visibility, and AVEVA Predictive Analytics for asset performance management. The PI System, acquired through its 2018 merger with OSIsoft, is the de facto standard for industrial time-series data infrastructure in process industries. AVEVA's software is deployed by over 20,000 enterprises across more than 100 countries, serving sectors including energy, chemicals, food and beverage, mining, and water utilities.\n\nAVEVA reported trailing twelve-month revenue of approximately $1.55 billion as of November 2025, with annual recurring revenue growing 16% year over year and 77% of revenue coming from recurring software subscriptions — a significant shift from its heritage as a perpetual license vendor. IDC named AVEVA a Leader in its 2024-2025 Manufacturing Execution Systems MarketScape. Its Schneider Electric ownership provides strategic capital, energy management integration opportunities, and a global sales infrastructure that amplifies AVEVA's reach into industrial customers undergoing digital transformation.
Phoenix AZ copper/gold mining leader (NYSE: FCX) ~$25.4B FY2024 revenue; Grasberg world's largest gold mine, 4.2B lbs copper, EV/AI demand structural tailwind, Kathleen Quirk CEO 2024 competing with BHP and Glencore.
About
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. is a Phoenix, Arizona-based mining company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: FCX) as an S&P 500 Materials component — operating copper, gold, and molybdenum mines across North America, South America, and Indonesia, including the Grasberg mine complex in Papua, Indonesia (the world's largest gold mine and second-largest copper mine), the Cerro Verde mine in Arequipa, Peru, the Morenci mine in Arizona, and the El Abra mine in Chile through approximately 27,000 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Freeport-McMoRan reported revenues of approximately $25.4 billion, with copper representing the primary revenue driver (producing 4.2 billion pounds of copper at an average realized price of approximately $4.20/lb — the highest sustained copper price since 2011 as AI infrastructure, energy transition, and EV adoption created structural demand growth expectations). CEO Kathleen Quirk assumed the CEO role in June 2024 following Richard Adkerson's retirement after 24 years leading Freeport through the privatization of Freeport-McMoRan from its 2007 Phelps Dodge acquisition through the commodity supercycle, oil price-induced near-bankruptcy in 2016, and recovery to peak copper demand leadership. Freeport's Grasberg Complex (producing 1.7 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million troy ounces of gold annually at full production) represents the defining asset — transitioning from the Grasberg open pit (the world's largest truck-shovel copper operation, mining ore since the 1980s, reaching pit depletion) to the underground Big Gossan, Grasberg Block Cave, and Deep MLZ block caving mines that provide 40+ years of underground copper production from the same ore body.
