Anglo American stock (ISIN GB00B1XZS820) closed at GBp 4,053.00 on September 17, 2026, after a 3.58 percent rise from the previous close of GBp 3,913.00. The move leaves the FTSE 100 miner at a market capitalization of GBp 43.427 billion, with 26,357 shares changing hands in the session.

Results still frame the story

For the most recent reported half-year context, Anglo American said on July 31, 2026, that revenue was USD 8.3 billion, EBITDA was USD 2.8 billion and underlying EBITDA margin was 33 percent. The company also reported net debt of USD 10.6 billion and copper production of 342,700 tonnes for the first half of 2026.

That scale matters for valuation. Revenue of USD 8.3 billion and EBITDA of USD 2.8 billion mean the miner is still being judged less on one session of trading and more on cash generation, balance sheet repair and asset quality.

Market watches the next step

As Reuters data showed on September 18, 2026, the shares are trading with an average analyst target of GBp 4,076.55 and a low-end target of GBp 2,310.59. That puts the last close only GBp 23.55 below the average target, while the high target stands at GBp 5,270.04.

As Reuters reported on September 18, 2026, broader commodity sentiment was mixed as oil prices fell for a third day. For a diversified miner, that kind of backdrop keeps attention on operating discipline rather than a single commodity move.
