Anglo American AAL.L
Anglo American is a global diversified miner that extracts and processes copper, iron ore, steelmaking coal, platinum, and diamonds, selling its products to industrial customers worldwide. Anglo American has solid financial health (7.57) and 10.9% revenue growth, but its quality is dragged down by a negative ROE (-3.08) and its dividend is unsustainable (payout 561%). The rally in copper to record highs is a key tailwind, although falling other metals prices and geopolitical uncertainty create risks.

Verdict: Hold: copper strength and low debt offset weak return on equity and an unsustainable dividend, but volatility in metals prices and geopolitical risk limit upside potential.
Main risk: The main risk is exposure to volatility in metals prices, especially if a global economic slowdown reduces demand, along with weak ROE indicating poor return on capital.
