Narrative Update • Jul 15

GLEN: Copper Mix And Lithium Offtake Will Support Future Rerating Potential

Glencore's analyst price target has been lowered to around £5.90 to £6.35 per share from prior levels closer to £6.10 to £6.60, as analysts factor in higher required returns, updated views on commodity mix and earnings potential, and a moderation in assumed future P/E multiples, despite slightly stronger revenue growth and margin inputs. Analyst Commentary Recent research on Glencore shows a mix of optimism and caution, with several bullish analysts still highlighting upside potential around earnings power, commodity exposure and current valuation, even as headline price targets edge lower in some cases.
