What has to go right or wrong for Anglo's forecast?

EBITDA is the main operating driver. The base path rises from $9,700m to $13,000m because the H1 2026 underlying EBITDA run rate was $8,004m, copper prices strengthened, and 2027 production guidance rises to 750–810kt of copper and 59–63Mt of premium iron ore. Teck contributes progressively, while synergies build toward the targeted $800m annually.

The bear path reaches only $9,000m because weaker prices, lower Chilean grades and delayed recovery reduce Anglo’s core earnings; Teck contributes less and integration costs persist. The bull path reaches $15,500m because stronger copper, improved grades, production at or above guidance and successful integration compound. Q2 copper production was flat, while Collahuasi and Quellaveco faced grade pressure.

How much cash does Anglo really make?

Anglo’s own free-cash-flow measure was $790 million, while the calculation here reaches $1,257 million. A further measure deducts stock pay as an economic cost, producing “real free cash flow” of $1,128 million.

The useful conclusion is not that one definition is correct, but that cash must be tested against maintenance, project timing and repeatability before it is treated as durable surplus.

Free cash flow — the company's own count790-209

What this means. The company's free cash flow is lower because it also subtracts 467 million dollars of cash payments that our count does not.
