On CNBC's “Halftime Report Final Trades,” Bryn Talkington, managing partner of Requisite Capital Management, named Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE:FCX) as her final trade.

Freeport-McMoRan moved to reset expectations for its flagship Grasberg mine after completing its investigation into September's mud-flow incident, issuing lower-than-expected multi-year production guidance while signaling that the worst of the operational overhang is easing.

Scotiabank analyst Orest Wowkodaw upgraded Freeport-McMoRan to Sector Outperform from Sector Perform after the company issued updated production and capex guidance for its Indonesian Grasberg mine.

Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist, head of investment solutions and portfolio manager at Hightower Advisors, picked Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ:TER).

Lending support to her choice, Citigroup analyst Atif Malik, on Nov. 12, maintained Teradyne with a Buy and raised the price target from $117 to $215.
