Investors Chronicle:

Antofagasta profits soar but production falters

Copper miner to hand out hefty interim payout but flags water shortage as a risk to production

August 19, 2021

A looming fall in the copper price is not ideal for Antofagasta but it is in net cash and looks to soon have a fix to its water issues.

Buy.

There was some support for Antofagasta from Peel Hunt analysts, however, after they stuck by their target price of 1,545p, compared with 1,403p after today's 67p fall.

The 280.6% hike in dividend to 23.6 cents a share, amounting to $233 million and in line with a commitment to pay 35% of net earnings, was broadly in line with the broker's expectations. It will be paid to shareholders on October 1.

Peel Hunt said Antofagasta shares still offered appealing exposure to copper and that the pull back for shares due to slower growth rates in China's economy offered an opportunity.

The broker said: “We would use further pull backs to add to positions, as we continue to expect copper prices to rally over the next two years.”

Counterparts at Deutsche Bank are less optimistic and recently placed a “sell” recommendation on Antofagasta, naming Glencore as their preferred pick for copper exposure due to self-help measures, an undemanding valuation and strong cash flows.

Know any good producing copper pure plays?
