Anglo American ( (GB:AAL) ) has issued an update.

Anglo American has agreed to sell its Australian steelmaking coal portfolio to privately held UK mining company Dhilmar Limited for up to $3.875 billion in cash, comprising $2.3 billion upfront and a price-linked earnout of up to $1.575 billion. Proceeds will be used to reduce net debt, and together with a prior $1 billion Jellinbah stake sale, the transaction completes Anglo American’s exit from steelmaking coal as it simplifies its portfolio ahead of its planned merger with Teck.

The asset package includes majority interests in the Moranbah North, Grosvenor, Capcoal, Roper Creek, Dawson and related joint ventures, with completion targeted by the first quarter of 2027 subject to regulatory and competition approvals. In parallel, Anglo American is pursuing arbitration with Peabody over a previously agreed sale of the same portfolio, while Dhilmar’s acquisition underscores its strategy of building a portfolio of long-life, sustainably operated mining assets in established jurisdictions.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AAL) stock is a Buy with a £3800.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Anglo American stock, see the GB:AAL Stock Forecast page.

**Spark’s Take on AAL Stock**

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AAL is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weakened financial performance (revenue contraction and consecutive net losses), partially offset by continued positive free cash flow. Technicals are a major support given strong price trend versus key moving averages and positive momentum. Earnings-call commentary adds moderate support via cost savings, deleveraging, and transaction progress, while valuation is mixed due to a negative P/E despite a high dividend yield.
