Anglo American (LSE:AAL) has finalized the sale of its remaining shares in Valterra Platinum Limited through an accelerated bookbuild process. The company disposed of roughly 52.2 million shares, raising ZAR 44.1 billion (about USD 2.5 billion). This transaction marks the complete sale of Anglo American’s 19.9% holding in Valterra Platinum, which followed the company’s earlier demerger.
The divestment aligns with Anglo American’s strategy to reshape its portfolio around key commodities such as copper, premium-grade iron ore, and crop nutrients. The move is expected to influence both its operational focus and market positioning going forward.
Currently, the company’s outlook reflects a mixed financial picture. Despite profitability pressures, technical indicators point to ongoing bullish momentum. Even so, valuation challenges remain, with a negative P/E ratio and modest dividend yield highlighting ongoing financial headwinds.
