The latest announcement is out from Glencore ( (GB:GLEN) ).
Glencore reported preliminary 2025 results showing revenue up 7% to $247.5 billion but Adjusted EBITDA down 6% to $13.5 billion, as weaker energy and steelmaking coal prices offset stronger metals pricing and a robust second half. Net income swung to a $363 million profit from a $1.6 billion loss, while net debt held broadly flat at $11.2 billion and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA remained conservative at 0.83 times.
The group underlined a copper-led growth strategy, targeting around 1.6 million tonnes of copper output by 2035 and more than 1 million tonnes on an annualised basis by end-2028, supported by recent acquisitions and portfolio moves including the Quechua project in Peru and a land-access deal at Katanga (KCC) in the DRC. It also proposed total 2026 cash distributions of $2 billion, backed in part by surplus Bunge shareholdings and spot free cash flow generation estimated at about $7 billion annually, underscoring confidence in its balance sheet and position as a key supplier of both traditional and energy-transition commodities.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GLEN) stock is a Buy with a £560.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Glencore stock, see the GB:GLEN Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GB:GLEN Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:GLEN is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by mixed financial performance (weaker profitability and declining free cash flow despite solid operating cash generation) and a strong but potentially overextended technical uptrend. The latest earnings call was supportive with improved marketing guidance, cost savings, and shareholder returns, while valuation is constrained by a negative P/E and only a modest dividend yield.
