Glencore (LSE:GLEN) revealed in its 2025 half-year report a strategic review targeting $1 billion in recurring cost savings by 2026 across its industrial portfolio. Despite a 14% decline in Adjusted EBITDA to $5.4 billion, driven by softer coal prices and reduced copper output, the company remains confident in its cash flow prospects and debt reduction plans. This optimism is supported by the recent sale of Viterra and a proposed $1 billion share buyback. Glencore’s marketing and industrial divisions are positioned to navigate shifting global commodity demands, even amid geopolitical uncertainties.
The company’s outlook is anchored by strong strategic initiatives and operational resilience, as emphasized during the earnings call and corporate updates. Nonetheless, financial headwinds, including profitability pressures and valuation challenges, dampen sentiment. Technical indicators provide a cautious stance with mixed signals on momentum.
