Anglo American ( (GB:AAL) ) has issued an announcement.

Anglo American has provided a formal update under the UK Takeover Code on the portfolio reshaping it first outlined in May 2024, detailing significant progress on disposals and separations across its non-core commodities. The group has agreed the sale of its nickel business to MMG for up to US$500 million, pending final EU regulatory approval, and has fully exited its former Anglo American Platinum stake, realising about US$2.5 billion from the sale of its remaining 19.9% holding after a prior majority demerger. In steelmaking coal, the company has completed the A$1.6 billion sale of its 33.3% Jellinbah Group interest but is re-running a formal sale process for its remaining steelmaking coal assets after Peabody Energy moved to terminate a planned US$3.775 billion acquisition. Anglo American also reports that a dual‑track separation and structured sale of its De Beers diamond business is progressing, while development of the Woodsmith crop nutrients project has been deliberately slowed to focus on critical technical work and validation of capital and schedule assumptions, keeping 2025 capex around US$0.3 billion as it works toward meeting key conditions for full project sanction. Collectively, these actions underscore Anglo American’s drive to simplify its portfolio and concentrate capital on copper, premium iron ore and crop nutrients, reshaping its commodity mix and risk profile in a way that is likely to be closely watched by shareholders, customers and host countries.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AAL) stock is a Buy with a £3400.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Anglo American stock, see the GB:AAL Stock Forecast page.
