The dividend has increased by an average of 10% per year over the past 9 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 521% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 92% over the next 3 years, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • May 26

Rio Tinto, Glencore Restart Talks on USD 260 Billion Mining Mega-Merger Rio Tinto Group (LSE:RIO) and Glencore plc (LSE:GLEN) said on January 8, 2026 that they have restarted talks about a potential business combination. The two major miners spoke previously back in 2024, but failed to reach an agreement. This time around, they say their preliminary discussions are centered around a combination of some or all of their businesses; this could include the acquisition of Glencore by Rio Tinto. The news was first reported by the Financial Times, with both companies confirming the story via press release shortly thereafter. According to the news outlet, the combination of Rio Tinto and Glencore would create a massive mining company with an enterprise value north of USD 260 billion. The two firms have said there's no guarantee that any transaction will go through. However, it's worth noting that Rio Tinto has changed leadership since the 2024 talks ended, with Simon Trott now at the helm. For its part, Glencore has reorganized its coal assets. The Financial Times also notes that Glencore CEO Gary Nagle spoke last month about the importance of size in the mining industry, saying that bigger companies have various advantages. “It makes sense to create bigger companies,” the executive explained to reporters. “Not just for the sake of size, but also to create material synergies, to create relevance, to attract talent, to attract capital.” Regulations require Rio Tinto to announce its intentions either way by February 5 of this year.

Bloomberg News reported on January 16, 2025 that the two were in early-stage merger talks. A merger between the firms has the potential to be the largest ever in the mining industry.

Yancoal Reportedly Primed to Snap Up Anglo Coal Portfolio Speculation is mounting that Glencore plc (LSE:GLEN) is betting on a break-up play for the Anglo American plc (LSE:AAL) coal portfolio, and that it may only be bidding for some of the assets within the USD 3 billion offering. Should that be the case, it further cements Yancoal Australia Ltd. (ASX:YAL)'s position as the leader in the race. DataRoom understands that the China-controlled but Australian-listed Yancoal has already gained approval from the Chinese government to buy the assets and has 15 banks lined up and approved to provide funding. Other suitors are a Stanmore Resources Limited (ASX:SMR) Coal-led consortium, which could face challenges in getting all its bidding partners to agree on price, and Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU), seen as an outside chance. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are working on the sale. One of the assets Glencore is probably keen to side step is the Grosvenor Mine 1,000km northwest of Brisbane that has been hit by closures due to a fire. Bids are due next week. Should the portfolio be split up, the major players could pick up Moranbah North and Grosvenor, Jellinbah could go to co-owners, while others take Capcoal and Dawson. It is understood existing shareholders and lenders have tipped in funds for the deal, to be announced on 01 November 2024. Duyuru • Aug 29
Yancoal Could Target Kestrel If its Anglo Ambitions Fail to Fly Yancoal Australia Ltd. (ASX:YAL) is believed to be angling to buy the $3 billion Kestrel coal mine when it is due to come up for sale by private equity owner EMR Capital - if it misses out on the $4 billion worth of Anglo American coal assets on offer, sources say. EMR Capital is set to launch the sale process of Kestrel at the conclusion of the Anglo American process. It is located in Queensland's Bowen Basin, 51km northeast of Emerald, and was purchased by the Owen Hegarty-chaired EMR Capital in 2018 from Adaro Energy for $2.25 billion. The developments come as more information filters out about the sale process for the Anglo American coal assets on offer through Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. The understanding is that suitors are being told to ascribe zero value to the Grosvenor mine that has caught fire and been closed as a result. Yancoal, which is 62% owned by Chinese state-owned Yankuang Energy, is being assisted by CITIC CLSA and Royal Bank of Canada in its quest to buy the Anglo American portfolio. Chief executive David Moult made it clear during the company's results presentation this month he is a keen buyer, with the group suspending distribution payments to keep its $1.5 billion war chest to use for acquisitions. Glencore plc (LSE:GLEN) is also expected to run hard at the opportunity, while Stanmore Coal's boss Marcelo Matos somewhat laid his cards on the table during the company's result this week. While he would not say if Stanmore was a participant in the sale, he noted that its asset (Poitrel) was next to Anglo American's (Grosvenor and Moranbah North). Stanmore's Indonesian backers, such as Golden Energy, are likely to be there to support its bid, as could BUMA Energy. Or it may play separately. On offer are Anglo American's Capcoal and Dawson assets, and its most attractive mine is Moranbah North as well as Grosvenor. Also in the mix are its Aquila project, an interest in Jellinbah and the potential Moranbah South project. Duyuru • Aug 21

JFE Steel Reportedly Eyes Stake in Teck Resources' Coal Business Japan's JFE Steel Corporation is in talks to buy a stake in the metallurgical coal business of Canada's Teck Resources Limited (TSX:TECK.B), two people aware of the development told Reuters, adding to the list of suitors that also includes miner Glencore plc (LSE:GLEN). Major steelmakers are seeking to diversify their supplies of coking coal due to sanctions on Russia, one of the leading producers. The previously unreported talks between JFE and Teck have been ongoing since September, another source said. The sources declined to be identified as they are not authorized to speak publicly. "We will continue to consider the acquisition of interests in coking coal, but we cannot answer individual questions," a spokesperson for Tokyo-based JFE Steel said in an email. Teck said it does not comment on speculation and referred to its earlier statement that the company is engaging with various counterparties regarding the steelmaking coal business. The talks are early and may not result in a deal, one of the sources added. It was unclear what stake JFE was seeking or what price it was offering. Japan's Nippon Steel Corporation (TSE:5401) has previously said it was looking to buy a 10% stake in Teck's coal business for CAD 1.15 billion, valuing the overall business at about CAD 11.5 billion, with an option of increasing its stake to 17.5%. Teck has been considering splitting its coal and copper businesses since March, but shareholders voted down its original proposal. In April, Teck rebuffed a $22.5 billion unsolicited takeover offer for the entire company from Swiss mining and trading firm Glencore. Glencore has said it will consider buying the coal business for about $8.5 billion. Teck shares were trading down 0.6%, while the benchmark Toronto share index was down 0.1%. JFE Steel holds 15% equity in India's JSW Steel Limited (BSE:500228), which was also exploring an investment in Teck's coal business. But Reuters reported in September the process had slowed down due to India-Canada diplomatic tensions. Earlier this month, Teck CEO Jonathan Price said the company had received multiple suggestions from investors on how to separate its coal and metals businesses and he was hoping to make a decision on the split by the end of this year.

JSW Steel Reportedly May Pick Majority Stake in Teck Coal Unit JSW Steel Limited (BSE:500228) is looking to form a consortium to bid for a majority stake in Teck Resources Limited (TSX:TECK.B)’s steelmaking coal business, people with knowledge of the matter said, potentially rivalling an $8 billion offer from commodities giant Glencore plc (LSE:GLEN). Mumbai-based JSW is seeking partners for an offer to acquire a 75% interest in the asset, known as Elk Valley Resources Ltd., the people said. That’s a marked shift in approach from July, when Bloomberg News reported JSW was interested in up to 20% of Teck’s coal business. A deal could value the coal business at more than $8 billion and JSW has been sounding out banks about financing for a potential offer, according to the people. Deliberations are ongoing and there’s no certainty an agreement will be reached, they said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information. Representatives for JSW and Teck declined to comment. Any JSW consortium could yet face competition for the coal asset from Glencore, which in June proposed buying the business for about $8 billion as an alternative to a full takeover of Vancouver-based Teck.

New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 4.3% Last year net profit margin: 6.5% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 18% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks High level of debt (63% net debt to equity). Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.

Britishvolt in Talks to Sell Majority Stake Power by Britishvolt Limited (Britishvolt) is in talks to sell a majority stake to a consortium of investors for more than £150 million, offering a potential lifeline to the troubled UK battery manufacturer. The potential buyers, led by an international pension fund, have made an offer to Britishvolt’s existing shareholders, which include Glencore plc (LSE:GLEN) and Ashtead Group plc (LSE:AHT) as well as its founders, to take control of the business, according to several people. Shareholders have until January 13, 2023 to approve the offer, according to two people, but some have objected to a deal they believe undervalues the company and dilutes current investors. The new investors are proposing to put in £30 million upfront and a further £128 million over the year, which would give Britishvolt time to secure the much-needed orders from carmakers for its technology, according to the people with knowledge of the discussions. The funding would also allow the business to make further developments to its prototype battery cells, which it must do to convince carmakers to buy its batteries. The company has development agreements with Aston Martin and Lotus but has yet to announce any public deals to sell its technology to manufacturers. The company said on January 9, 2023 it was “in discussions with a consortium of investors concerning the potential majority sale of the company”. The consortium that is looking to invest also provided money to the business late in 2022, according to two people. “The discussions aim to secure legally binding terms that would provide Britishvolt with the long-term sustainability and funding necessary to enable it to pursue its current plans to build a strong and viable battery cell R&D and manufacturing business in the UK,” the company added. Britishvolt declined to name the investors involved. The “two parties will provide further details at the appropriate time and have nothing further to add at this stage”, it said.
