Chris LaFemina has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest Glencore’s stock is undervalued and poised for growth. Despite recent challenges such as weak coal prices, operational issues, and reduced liquidity, the company’s enterprise value had hit a record low, indicating a potential for significant upside.
Glencore’s strategic approach, including a capital-lite model and potential M&A activities, positions it well for unlocking value. The possibility of streamlining its portfolio by de-merging certain assets could further enhance its valuation. LaFemina believes that these factors, combined with the current undervaluation of Glencore’s shares, present a compelling investment opportunity, making it one of Jefferies’ top picks in the global mining sector.
LaFemina covers the Basic Materials sector, focusing on stocks such as Glencore, Cleveland-Cliffs, and Steel Dynamics. According to TipRanks, LaFemina has an average return of 4.2% and a 47.75% success rate on recommended stocks.
In another report released on June 4, Berenberg Bank also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a £3.80 price target.
