Gold prices edge lower; heading for weekly losses ahead of U.S.-Russia talks
Investing.com - Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn) lowered its price target on Glencore Plc (LON:GLEN) to GBP3.80 from GBP4.00 on Tuesday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the mining and commodities trading company.
The price target reduction comes as Deutsche Bank notes the market has lost confidence in Glencore’s guidance, particularly regarding its copper division’s production targets.
Deutsche Bank’s analysis of Glencore’s production track record suggests that while the company’s second-half targets appear challenging with limited room for unexpected events, the low end of the copper production range remains achievable based on the company’s 10-year track record.
The bank emphasized that delivery in the second half of 2025 will be crucial for Glencore to restore investor confidence, suggesting management should focus on rebuilding guidance credibility.
Deutsche Bank revised its estimates to reflect lower coal realization, but continues to see "attractive value" in Glencore shares, noting the market is giving "very little credit for a recovery in volumes."
