RE: Merger?22 Feb 2024 17:42
Brokers at the brokerage firm Jefferies and the banks Barclays and RBC have cut their target price for the stock in response.
Analysts noted that £30bn had been lost from the value of Anglo, since Duncan Wanblad, a company insider, took over as chief executive from longstanding boss Mark Cutifani in April 2022.
Why merger in air ? Sp at depressed levels with diamonds and plat at bottom of cycle. 12/23 Jefferies said Anglo may become “involved in the broader trend of industry consolidation” and suggested Glencore as suitor. Edison mentioned Xstrata’s 2009 merger attempt failed because shareholders had not been offered a premium. Etc et al.
