Action:ReiteratedDate:02/23/26
The score is held back mainly by pressured financial performance (revenue declines and recent net losses), partly cushioned by resilient operating cash flow. Technicals are supportive with a clear uptrend, and the earnings call was broadly constructive on cost-out, deleveraging, and merger progress, though De Beers and execution/regulatory risks remain. Valuation is helped by an unusually high dividend yield despite loss-driven negative P/E.
Positive Factors
Cash generation
Sustained positive operating cash flow and positive free cash flow in 2025 show the business generates real cash even amid earnings volatility. Durable cash conversion underpins ability to fund sustaining CapEx, pay dividends/special distributions, and deleverage over the next 2–6 months.
Cost-out and efficiency gains
Material, executed cost reductions and head‑office transformation improve structural cost base and margins. With most savings already realised and a modest remaining target, the program increases operating leverage and resilience to lower commodity prices over the medium term.
Strategic portfolio transformation (Merger & monetisations)
A planned Anglo‑Teck merger and prior asset sales materially simplify the portfolio toward copper and premium iron ore. This structural repositioning plus realised proceeds ($2.5B) should strengthen the growth profile and capital returns, reshaping long‑term cash flow mix.
Negative Factors
Earnings deterioration
Persistent revenue declines and recent net losses indicate structural pressures beyond cyclical swings, with substantial non‑operating charges weighing the bottom line. This undermines retained earnings and limits flexibility for reinvestment or cushioning future commodity downcycles.
Rising leverage
Leverage has nearly doubled since 2021, reducing balance‑sheet flexibility. Higher indebtedness increases vulnerability to commodity price shocks and raises financing costs, constraining the firm's ability to fund growth projects or withstand prolonged earnings weakness over the next several quarters.
De Beers impairment and diamond market weakness
A large impairment and weak diamond demand highlight structural downside in the diamonds business and complicate exit plans. Impairments erode asset value and can result in contingent or deferred sale proceeds, reducing the near‑term benefit of portfolio simplification.

Anglo American Business Overview & Revenue Model
Company DescriptionAnglo American plc operates as a mining company worldwide. The company explores for rough and polished diamonds, copper, platinum group metals, metallurgical and thermal coal, and iron ore; and nickel, polyhalite, and manganese ores, as well as alloys. Anglo American plc was founded in 1917 and is headquartered in London, the United Kingdom.
How the Company Makes MoneyAnglo American generates revenue primarily through the extraction and sale of minerals and metals. Its key revenue streams include the production and marketing of diamonds (through its De Beers brand), platinum group metals, copper, iron ore, and nickel. The company benefits from long-term contracts, spot market sales, and a robust supply chain that connects its mines to global markets. Significant partnerships, particularly in diamond marketing and production, as well as joint ventures in various mining operations, contribute to its earnings. Additionally, fluctuations in commodity prices, demand from industrial sectors, and global economic conditions play crucial roles in determining the company's overall financial performance.
Anglo American Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 19, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 23, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a broadly positive strategic and operational picture: management delivered on production guidance, realized substantial cost savings and demonstrable deleveraging, and advanced a transformational merger with Teck that could create a major copper‑focused champion. Material negatives include two workplace fatalities, a significant impairment and ongoing market weakness at De Beers, operational incidents affecting steelmaking coal, and near‑term cost and grade headwinds at Collahuasi that lift 2026 unit costs. On balance, the positives—strong simplified portfolio performance, cash generation, portfolio monetizations (~$2.5bn realized) and merger progress—outweigh the negatives, though material execution and market risks remain (notably De Beers exit and remaining regulatory approvals).Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Strategic Transformation and Merger Progress
Announced merger with Teck to form 'Anglo Teck' with major regulatory approvals secured (including Investment Canada Act) and completion targeted in ~12-18 months; $4.5 billion special dividend expected to be payable around completion.
Strong Simplified Portfolio Financials
Simplified (go‑forward) portfolio delivered $6.9 billion EBITDA (up 9% year‑on‑year), a 44% EBITDA margin (up 2 percentage points) and underlying earnings of $1.6 billion; revenue for continuing operations rose ~4% despite a 4% drop in production.
Delivered Cost‑Out Program
Delivered $0.6 billion incremental savings in 2025 (ahead of $0.5 billion target), bringing realized savings to $1.6 billion of a committed $1.8 billion program; remaining ~$0.2 billion expected in 2026.
Deleveraging and Cash Generation
Net debt reduced by $2.0 billion to $8.6 billion (net debt/EBITDA 1.3x; excluding shareholder loans net debt $6.8 billion); sustaining attributable free cash flow of $1.4 billion and working capital inflow of $0.6 billion driven by inventory reduction at De Beers.
Operational Delivery in Copper and Iron Ore
Copper and premium iron ore met 2025 production guidance; Quellaveco throughput exceeded design and is positioned to produce ~300,000 tpa copper; short‑term lower‑risk growth of ~125,000 tpa copper expected as stripping at Collahuasi and Donoso 2 ramp up.
Capital Efficiency and Reduced CapEx
Continuing operations CapEx fell 16% to $3.3 billion (simplified portfolio CapEx ~$3.0 billion); 3‑year simplified portfolio CapEx guidance $2.6–3.1 billion per year and sustaining CapEx long‑term ~ $2 billion p.a.
Head Office Transformation and Productivity Actions
Head office transformation completed with a 21% headcount reduction; ongoing focus on embedding a cost culture and operational accountability to improve efficiency and drive further savings.
Portfolio Optimization Realized Proceeds
PGMs demerger and sell‑downs (Valterra residual 19.9% stake) raised ~ $2.5 billion, materially aiding deleveraging; sale processes underway for steelmaking coal, nickel (deal with MMG up to $0.5 billion) and an advanced, responsible exit process for De Beers.
Safety Metrics Improving (Despite Fatalities)
Total recordable injury frequency reached the lowest on record, with frequency rates down ~20% year‑on‑year, demonstrating progress in safety systems and frontline engagement (company reiterates zero harm goal).
Negative Updates
Workplace Fatalities
Despite improved injury frequency, the company reported two separate workplace fatalities in the first half (projects contractor fall in Minas‑Rio and an LHD accident in Unki), described as tragic and unacceptable.
De Beers Underperformance and Large Impairment
De Beers reported negative EBITDA of $0.5 billion in 2025 and a $2.3 billion impairment recognized within special items (carrying enterprise value $2.3 billion; Anglo's attributable share ~$1.9 billion) due to weak rough diamond prices, weak China demand and increased supply.
Discontinued Operations and Coal Incidents
Discontinued operations EBITDA only $0.1 billion (PGMs five months plus impacts from flooding), with steelmaking coal losses following incidents at Moranbah North and Grosvenor; net cash outflow from discontinued operations ~$0.7 billion for the year.
Collahuasi Grade Weakness and Production Impact
Production down ~4% year‑on‑year primarily due to lower ore grades and recoveries at Collahuasi while processing stockpiles; Collahuasi expected to go through a lower‑grade phase in 2026 with improvement from 2027.
Rising Copper Unit Cost Guidance
2026 copper unit cost guidance increased to ~ $1.72/lb from $1.50/lb in 2025 (≈+14.7%), driven by stronger producer currencies and a less favorable production mix between Los Bronces and Collahuasi.
High Effective Tax Rate for Continuing Operations
Effective tax rate for continuing operations in 2025 of 52% (distorted by De Beers); go‑forward simplified portfolio tax rate ~39% but 2026 guidance for continuing operations tax rate is 44–48% depending on profit mix and De Beers exit timing.
De Beers Sale Complexity and Market Weakness
Diamond market remains challenged (lab‑grown competition, tariff uncertainty and increased supply) complicating exit; potential buyers include consortia and governments, and consideration structures may include deferred/contingent payments given near‑term cash constraints.
Regulatory Steps Remaining for Merger
Two material regulatory approvals still outstanding (China and South Korea) before merger completion; integration planning underway but public updates to be limited until further along in the process.
Company Guidance
Guidance highlights include 2026 copper unit costs of ~ $1.72/lb (up from $1.50/lb) assuming CLP 860 and PEN 3.2, premium iron ore unit costs of ~ $41/t (ZAR16, BRL5.3), a continuing-operations underlying tax rate of 44–48% (long‑term simplified portfolio 38–42%; 2025 outcome ~39%), continuing depreciation $2.4–2.6bn, ~ $0.2bn of restructuring/merger costs, a one‑off non‑cash $0.5bn lease liability recognition related to Los Bronces water, and simplified‑portfolio CapEx of $2.6–3.1bn p.a. over the next 3 years (De Beers CapEx ~$0.5bn; Woodsmith ~$250m in 2026 and 2027 plus $50m OpEx), with sustaining CapEx ~ $2bn p.a.; operational and cost targets include $0.6bn incremental cost savings in 2025 (total realized $1.6bn of a $1.8bn target, with ~ $0.2bn to be realized in 2026), sustaining attributable free cash flow of $1.4bn in 2025, net debt reduced by $2.0bn to $8.6bn (net debt/EBITDA 1.3x; excl. shareholder loans $6.8bn), continuing‑operations EBITDA $6.4bn (simplified portfolio EBITDA $6.9bn, 44% margin; copper $4.0bn; premium iron ore $2.9bn), Quellaveco expected to produce ~300,000 tpa copper, ~125,000 t of lower‑risk near‑term copper growth from Collahuasi/Donoso 2 stripping, and the Anglo‑Teck transaction still targeted to complete in ~12–18 months (roughly Sept–Mar) with a $4.5bn special dividend payable on or around completion; 2025 underlying EPS was $0.54 and full‑year dividends were $0.23/share (final $0.16).Anglo American Financial Statement Overview
Summary
Fundamentals are mixed: multi-year revenue declines and net losses in 2024–2025 weigh heavily (income statement score 38), but operating cash flow remains solid and free cash flow stayed positive in 2025 (cash flow score 62). The balance sheet is still supported by sizeable equity, though leverage has risen versus 2021 (balance sheet score 58).Income Statement
Profitability has deteriorated meaningfully versus the 2021–2022 peak. Revenue declined in each of the last four annual periods (2025: -15.0%), and net income swung from strong profits in 2021–2022 to losses in 2024–2025 (2025 net margin: -22.3%). While 2025 shows solid operating profitability (EBIT margin ~20.1% and EBITDA margin ~32.5%), the bottom line is pressured, pointing to material non-operating items and/or charges driving net losses.38
Negative
Balance Sheet
Leverage is moderate but has been drifting higher. Debt-to-equity moved up from ~0.46 (2021) to ~0.92 (2025), reflecting either higher debt and/or lower equity over time. Equity remains sizeable ($18.0B in 2025) versus total assets ($56.0B), but recent losses have weighed on returns (negative return on equity in 2024) and reduce balance-sheet flexibility if the downturn persists.58
Neutral
Cash Flow
Cash generation remains a relative strength despite earnings pressure. Operating cash flow stayed positive across all periods and was $5.05B in 2025, supporting positive free cash flow of $1.70B (though down ~10.0% YoY). However, cash conversion has weakened versus 2021 (operating cash flow relative to net income fell from ~1.58 in 2021 to ~0.74 in 2025), and the company is relying more on cash flow resilience than accounting profitability given the recent net losses.62
