Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share EARNINGS PER SHARE

FCX calculates its basic net (loss) income per share of common stock under the two-class method and calculates its diluted net (loss) income per share of common stock using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury-stock method. Basic net (loss) income per share of common stock was computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share of common stock was calculated by including the basic weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the effects of all potential dilutive shares of common stock, unless their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Reconciliations of net (loss) income and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net (loss) income per share follow (in millions, except per share amounts):

Stock options for 43 million shares of common stock in third-quarter 2019, 38 million shares in third-quarter 2018, 42 million shares for the first nine months of 2019 and 35 million shares for the first nine months of 2018 were excluded.
