Anglo American stock holds firm after H1 2026 update
Published on 08/24/2026 at 12:01 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Anglo American stock is trading against a half-year backdrop that included $9.93 billion in revenue and $4.1 billion in EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The shares changed hands at 47.49 EUR in Tradegate trading at 08:02:15 on August 24, 2026, after the stock had gained 34.94% from January 1 and was up 5.49% over five days.
H1 2026 set the tone
The latest company update for the half year ended June 30, 2026 showed revenue of $9.93 billion, while underlying EBITDA reached $4.1 billion and underlying profit rose 60% to $1.0 billion. Marketscreener's summary of the July 30, 2026 update also said production of copper reached 344,000 tonnes and that full-year copper guidance remained 700,000 to 760,000 tonnes.
That mix matters for miners because Anglo American's results leaned heavily on copper, which accounted for about 70% of EBITDA in the half-year update. The same summary said net debt fell to $8.2 billion from $8.6 billion at the end of 2023, a useful contrast for investors tracking balance-sheet repair alongside portfolio changes.
Portfolio shifts stay relevant
One current angle is the company's ongoing portfolio reshaping, including the planned Teck combination and the divestment path for non-core assets. Marketscreener's August 24 coverage also listed the EU review of MMG's offer for Anglo American's Brazilian nickel business on August 14, 2026, which keeps the nickel exit story visible in the background.
The stock's year-to-date advance of 34.94% suggests the market is still rewarding the copper-heavy reset and the stronger first-half cash profile. The five-day gain of 5.49% also shows the shares entered August 24, 2026 with momentum intact.
What Anglo sells
Anglo American's portfolio still spans copper, platinum-group metals, iron ore, diamonds, nickel and crop nutrients, but copper remains the clearest earnings driver in the current reporting frame. The H1 2026 update reinforced that point with $4.1 billion in EBITDA and a 60% jump in underlying profit.
