Berenberg has kicked off coverage of Antofagasta PLC (LSE:ANTO) with a bullish call, giving the FTSE 100 copper miner a £21.00 price target - about 25% above where shares currently trade.
Antofagasta stands out in the London market as a pure-play copper producer, with all four of its operating mines based in Chile. Most major peers mix copper with less fashionable metals like iron ore or coal.
That purity means Antofagasta can tap into growing investor interest in copper as a long-term winner from the energy transition.
The firm is in growth mode. Copper production is expected to rise from around 680,000 tonnes in 2025 to 900,000 tonnes by 2028, led by expansion at its Centinela mine and improving ore grades at Los Pelambres.
And 80% of production sits in the lowest-cost bracket globally, helped by the fact that by-products like gold and molybdenum offset production costs.
That low-cost advantage drives EBITDA margins over 55% - sector-leading by some distance - and supports high returns on capital. Even as the company ramps up capital spending, Berenberg expects net debt to
peak at a manageable 0.9 times EBITDA in 2026.
There’s also a sleeper asset in the portfolio. In 2023, Antofagasta quietly bought a near-19% stake in Peru’s Buenaventura, a local mining group with copper, gold and silver operations.
Berenberg reckons the market is underestimating the value of that investment, which could generate over $12 million in annual dividends and open the door to project partnerships in Peru.
Despite this growth and balance sheet strength, Antofagasta trades on just 6.6 times 2025 EBITDA, well below copper-focused peers, which often fetch 8–10 times. Berenberg sees scope for that valuation gap to close, especially as the firm offers exactly what copper bulls are looking for: scale, low costs, growth, and geographic stability.
Risks? The obvious ones - copper and gold prices, local currency swings, and potential mine disruption. But the analysts argue these are manageable, and see upside beyond the current 900,000-tonne production plan if the company pursues further expansions or acquisitions.
In short: Antofagasta is a high-margin, low-risk way to play the copper story, and Berenberg thinks the market is undervaluing it.
In afternoon trading, the shares were down 5.5% at 1,589p, part of a broader sell-off across the mining sector.

The copper price is now at all time high of 5.138 but Antofagasta the leading copper miners closed at £19.42 which is well below its all time high of over £24 reached in May 24 which surely makes Antofagasta very cheap relative to the copper price.

Thanks Rock Star I trade Antofagasta a lot and missed that news. I think they are still cheap against the copper price even after todays 52p rise.

Antofagasta posted solid Interims this morning. Copper production was down 4% yoy to 284,700 tonnes but EBITDA was 5% higher than a year earlier at $1394.4 million due to higher prices, EBITDA margin was up a little to 47.2%. PBT, however, was down 6.8% to $712.6m. The balance sheet remains strong with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.46x after supporting shareholder distributions, an interim dividend of 7.9c per share was announced today. Valuation remains something of a headwind with forward PE at 22.5x bottom quintile for the Metals & Mining sector. The share price also lacks momentum while the dividend yield at just 1.8% is a little stingy. This is one to monitor for the time being...from WealthOracle

Antofagasta upbeat as copper price rallies and production recovers

"The recent strength in the copper market is a positive start to the year"
Copper Fourth quarter copper production was 195,700 tonnes, up 7.6% on the previous three months

Antofagasta PLC (LSE:ANTO) said it ended 2002 on a strong note with higher copper prices, production rising, and cost pressures stabilising.

Production for the year just ended was 646,200 tonnes of copper, in line with the bottom of revised forecasts, with the Chile-based miner forecasting that to increase in the current year.

“With the Los Pelambres desalination and concentrator plants expected to be in production during the second quarter of the year after finishing commissioning, we forecast annual copper production in 2023 will increase to between 670,000 and 710,000 tonnes with net cash costs of $1.65/lb,” said Iván Arriagada, Antofagasta chief executive in the production update.

Fourth quarter copper production was 195,700 tonnes, up 7.6% on the previous three months as throughput at Los Pelambres and Centinela Concentrates recovered.

Gold production was 20% higher at 56,100 ounces (oz), making 176,800 oz for the year, which is expected to rise to 220-240,000 oz in 2023.

"The recent strength in the copper market is a positive start to the year, reflecting not just the relaxation of Covid restrictions in China and its expected stronger growth, but also the fundamental long-term importance of copper and the need for increased supply,“ Arriagada added.

Copper prices have recovered from US$3.24//lb in July to US$4.29/lb currently, while gold is close to an all-time high.

Antofagasta said it expects cash costs in 2023 to be $2.20/lb, in line with 2022, reflecting higher production and decreased input costs offset by inflation and a stronger Chilean peso

Net cash costs in 2023 are expected to be $1.65/lb including by-product credits.

Antofagasta shares rose 1% to 1,760p in early trade on Wednesday and are up almost 70% in four months.
