Anglo American's Teck Deal Lifts Copper Exposure, Uncertainties Remain -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Sep 09

0904 GMT - Anglo American's takeover of Teck Resources will give it greater scale in copper, but there are uncertainties around whether the deal will truly generate value, says AJ Bell's Russ Mould. The big unknown is whether adding Teck's assets is enough to revive Anglo's share price, he says. Transformational deals rarely add value and Anglo doesn't have a perfect deal-making history, he adds. The deal is a win for the U.K. stock market though, as the enlarged group will have its primary listing in London. "Anglo American has turned from prey to predator," Mould says. "One minute Anglo was fighting off bid interest from BHP...the next it is swooping on a business that arch-rival Glencore tried and failed to buy." Shares rise 7.9%. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
