Berenberg , which reiterated its 'buy' rating on the stock, now takes the the view that Anglo American's shares "have the catalysts to outperform in the coming months", but also noted they have the "ability to materially kick on in 2027" when the merger with Teck Resources closes and the market fully appreciate's "the meaningful upside potential to earnings", both from the inorganic benefits of the deal,vbut also the organic upside from the existing assets.
While the German bank noted that the stock has "done well" so far in 2026, up 14% year-to-date, it thinks that there was still "further upside to come" as catalysts and earnings growth potential appears to be under appreciated by the market.
"We update our model for the Q1 production results and also make some model tweaks including higher short-term coal costs, incorporate recent Teck Resources reporting and adjust our shares in issue count for our NAV," said Berenberg, which added that Anglo's shares were currently trading on 1.59x net asset value and 8.7x FY26 underlying earnings estimates.
