Anglo American Delivers Solid Q4 as It Lifts Copper and Iron Ore Outlook and Advances Teck Merger

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Anglo American ( (GB:AAL) ) has shared an update.

Anglo American reported a solid fourth quarter for 2025, with strong operational performance in its core Copper and Premium Iron Ore divisions, even as group copper output fell 14% year-on-year to 169,500 tonnes due to lower grades at Quellaveco and Collahuasi. Premium iron ore production rose 6% to 15.1 million tonnes, manganese ore output jumped 22% as Australian operations normalised after prior weather disruptions, while rough diamond and steelmaking coal volumes declined on maintenance, market-driven production cuts and asset sales; all continuing businesses met full-year 2025 production guidance. Looking ahead, the miner has modestly upgraded 2026–2028 guidance for copper and premium iron ore, temporarily restarting a second plant at Los Bronces to offset lower output at Collahuasi and projecting its Chilean copper operations to produce over 125,000 tonnes more by 2028 than in 2025; it also expects Quellaveco to generate strong cash and reach capital payback in 2026. Strategically, Anglo American is pushing ahead with a portfolio reshaping that includes the sale of its steelmaking coal business, the separation of De Beers and regulatory work on nickel, while advancing its merger with Teck following Canadian approval and strong shareholder backing, positioning the future Anglo Teck group as a major critical minerals and premium iron ore player.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AAL) stock is a Hold with a £3867.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Anglo American stock, see the GB:AAL Stock Forecast page.
