Is it all about Copper? : Anglo American's Rejection of BHP's Acquisition Offer Anglo American's decision to turn down BHP's acquisition offer marks a pivotal moment in the mining sector. As an industry observer, I believe this deal could have had significant implications. Firstly, it would have reshaped the landscape of the mining industry, potentially creating a global powerhouse with unparalleled resources and capabilities. Such consolidation could lead to increased efficiency and innovation, benefiting stakeholders across the board. Moreover, the rejection highlights Anglo American's confidence in its own strategic vision and growth prospects. By charting its own course, Anglo American is asserting its independence and commitment to delivering long-term value to shareholders. However, it also raises questions about the future direction of both companies. Will BHP pursue alternative strategies to achieve growth? How will Anglo American capitalize on its standalone position in the market? In any case, this development underscores the dynamic nature of the mining sector and the importance of strategic decision-making in navigating its complexities. As we continue to monitor developments, it's clear that the landscape is evolving, and opportunities abound for those with the vision and agility to seize them. #MiningSector #StrategicDecisions #IndustryInsights https://lnkd.in/g3W8txbm

Mining giant BHP has made a bold bid to dramatically expand its copper portfolio, launching a takeover bid for $56B British resources giant Anglo American in what could shape up to be one of the biggest global resources deals this year. Anglo said BHP has no interest in the company’s platinum assets, and any deal would require separate demergers by Anglo American of its entire shareholdings in Anglo American Platinum Limited and Kumba Iron Ore Limited to Anglo American shareholders. Spinning out AngloPlats and Kumba would also substantially reduce the transaction value for BHP, given the pair delivered about a third of Anglo American’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation in 2023. Anglo American’s global operations booked annual EBITDA of $US10.2bn last year, of which about $US3.7bn came from Kumba and AngloPlats, according to company disclosures. https://lnkd.in/gyxYx5HE

Shareholders of BHP and Anglo American anticipate another improved bid from BHP before the regulatory deadline, despite Anglo’s restructuring plans. Anglo intends to focus on copper and iron ore, selling off other assets, in response to BHP’s bid. Investors foresee potential for a revised offer from BHP, expecting a 5% increase, signaling uncertainty in Anglo’s strategy. BHP’s CEO emphasizes the importance of shareholder input in determining the best course. Anglo’s refusal to engage directly with BHP is seen as aggressive and potentially unsettling for its own shareholders. This standoff could impact Chile, a major copper producer, by influencing global market dynamics and investment sentiment in the mining sector.

BREAKING M&A DEAL: BHP proposes £31bn takeover of Anglo American in mining mega-deal ⛏ London-listed miner Anglo American, said on Thursday it had received an all-share buyout proposal from BHP Group, a deal that would create the world's biggest copper miner churning out around 10% of global output. BHP said its offer valued each Anglo share at £25.08. Anglo shares rose 13% to £24.89 in early trading in London. The deal, if agreed, would give BHP access to more copper, one of the most sought-after metals for the clean energy transition, and potash, which are its key strategic commodities, as well as more coking coal in Australia. Jefferies analysts said it could take a premium of around 28% above Anglo's most recent share price to get the deal across the line, adding the increased copper market concentration could raise antitrust concerns. If the deal is completed, it would likely be among the 10 biggest-ever mining deals by value and has the potential to delist Anglo from the London market.
