21:16		the grumpy old men: Investomania Why I think the Glencore PLC share price could outperform the FTSE 100 Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) could deliver share price returns that are ahead of the FTSE 100 (INDEXFTSE:UKX) in my view June 6, 2019 Robert Stephens, CFA Glencore (LON:GLEN) While the recent share price performance of Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) may have been highly disappointing, I think the company has a bright long-term future as a result of its low rating and overall strategy. The electric vehicles market could be a strong growth driver for those businesses that operate within it. After all, by 2030, 30% of global vehicle sales are expected to be of electric vehicles. This suggests that their growth rate could pick up as their range improves and the infrastructure required to complete longer journeys with a quick charge becomes more readily available. Glencore’s move to ramp-up production of commodities such as nickel and lithium, which are key components of the batteries used in electric vehicles, could provide it with a significant tailwind over the long run in my opinion. Given that the company has experienced challenging news flow of late, in terms of regulatory risks, it is not a major surprise to me that the stock has recorded a decline in value. This, though, now means that it may offer a larger margin of safety, with it trading on a P/E ratio of around 6.7 at the present time. This indicates to me that its risk to reward ratio may be favourable, since investors may have priced in the short-term risks faced by the business. Therefore, while I’m upbeat about the prospects for the FTSE 100 over the long run, I feel that the Glencore share price could offer FTSE 100-beating potential. While it may experience volatility in the near term, I think that it has growth potential as it pivots towards the electric vehicle industry. With a low rating, I believe that over the long run it could deliver impressive share price performance relative to its industry peers, as well as when compared to its FTSE 100 index peers.

09:40		grupo: Here’s why I’d buy FTSE 100-member Glencore’s share price right now Peter Stephens | Tuesday, 23rd April, 2019 | More on: FXPO GLEN A stock price graph showing declines Image source: Getty Images. FTSE 100-listed resources stocks such as Glencore (LSE: GLEN) have seen their share prices experience significant volatility over the last year. Investors have been concerned at times about the prospects for the world economy, with Chinese economic data proving to be mixed. There has also been a threat of rising US interest rates and their potential impact on commodity prices. Glencore, though, appears to offer a wide margin of safety, as well as the potential to generate improving financial performance. Alongside another resources stock that released results on Tuesday, it could be worth buying right now. Continued progress The stock in question is iron ore pellet producer Ferrexpo (LSE: FXPO). Its results showed a rise in total pellet production of 1.6%, while revenue moved 6.4% higher to $1,274m versus the previous year. This reflected higher pellet premiums and freight rates. However, due in part to higher costs, its profit for the year declined by 15% to $335m. The company plans to reduce debt further over the medium term. Its improving balance sheet means that it is well-placed to deliver the next stage in its planned expansion. It expects to increase investment yet further in order to reach its medium-term production target of 12m tonnes per annum by 2021. Although Ferrexpo’s share price could experience further volatility, investors appear to have factored in the risks it faces. It trades on a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 9.5, which suggests that it offers a wide margin of safety. With ambitious production growth targets over the long run and what could prove to be growing demand from across the world economy, the stock could offer value investing potential. Low valuation As has been the case with many of its industry peers, the Glencore share price has shown signs of recovery in 2019. However, such was the scale of its decline in 2018, it is still down by 11% over the last year. As well as concerns surrounding the prospects for the world economy, investors seem to be adopting a cautious stance towards the company’s strategic shift towards cleaner operations. This essentially involves limiting its coal production over the medium term, with it seeking to expand its operations that are focused on cleaner forms of energy. They could prove to be increasingly popular over the long run. This could entail a challenging transition for Glencore due to its historic reliance on coal. However, with its P/E ratio currently standing at around 9, it seems to offer a sufficiently wide margin of safety to merit investment. Therefore, while further mixed data from the US and China could hurt its share price performance at a time of significant change for the business, in the long run, its strategy shift may provide it with a tailwind that leads to a rising bottom line and valuation. As such, now could be a good time to buy it. You Really Could Make A Million Of course, picking the right shares and the strategy to be successful in the stock market isn't easy.

07:19		sarkasm: INVESTOMANIA Is Glencore PLC’s share price set to beat the FTSE 100? Could Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) deliver an improving share price outlook? April 18, 2019 Robert Stephens Glencore (LON:GLEN) Improving investor sentiment towards the wider FTSE 100 may have helped to push the Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) share price higher since the start of the year. With investors now seemingly more positive about the prospects for the world economy, the resources stock has risen by around 12% since the turn of the year. In my view, while there could be risks and uncertainty ahead for the company and the wider sector, I’m nevertheless optimistic about its long-term outlook. It seems to have a sound strategy to my mind, as well as a low valuation. Resources sector prospects In the near term, it wouldn’t surprise me if the resources sector experiences a period of volatility. Economic data being released by China has been relatively weak of late in some respects, with its GDP growth rate expected to slow further over the medium term. There has also been weak data released in the US. This could indicate that its economic growth rate may slow, which would be bad news for the world economy. However, it may also mean that planned interest rate rises are slower than previously expected. This could lessen the cost of servicing debt for emerging market economies, while also potentially making a variety of commodities less expensive in local currencies. As a result, I feel that the economic outlook for the world economy is uncertain at the moment. This could mean that Glencore and other resources sector companies experience a volatile period, with their share prices potentially being impacted by more cautious investors in the short run. Share price growth potential With Glencore having made a variety of changes to its business model over recent years, I think the company is in a strong position to deliver EPS growth. It has reduced debt, while also making its business more efficient. These changes could help it to overcome the potential volatility that may be present in the resources industry. Glencore has also sought to focus to an increasing extent on the electric vehicle marketplace. I think this is a good idea, since I expect sales of electric vehicles to continue to rise – particularly as they are likely to fall in price relative to petrol cars as the cost of production is shared among a wider base of vehicles. Valuation Since the Glencore share price trades on a P/E ratio of 8.5, I think that it offers a large margin of safety at the moment. This could mean that it is able to deliver improving share price performance over the long run, with it seeming to trade at a larger discount to its intrinsic value than a number of other FTSE 100 resources shares. Although it may be volatile in the near term, I think the company’s strategy is sound. As a result, after strong gains since the turn of the year, I’m optimistic about the prospects for the stock over the long run.

13:18		grupo guitarlumber: Https://www.cmcmarkets.com/en-gb/opto/glencore-glen-share-price-set-to-profit-from-energy-storage-boom Glencore [GLEN] share price set to profit from energy storage boom Analysts are hot on Swiss mining behemoth, Glencore, with a majority holding ‘buy’ ratings on the stock as it increases its production of minerals used in electric batteries. By Opto 04 Mar 2019, 08:50 GMT With a $54bn market cap and $8.3bn in profits for the first-half of 2018, Glencore [GLEN] is the largest mining company in the world by revenue. The firm’s share price has had a solid start to 2019, gaining over 10%. However, it is currently trading 25% off its 2018 high reached in January. After an initial upwards sprint at the start of last year, despite some fluctuations, H1 was largely consistent for the stock. Powered by CMC Markets, as at 01 March 2019 But things changed in July 2018 after the mining giant was hit by a money laundering probe from the US Department of Justice, sending its share price south by as much as 19% over the week ensuing. The company was dragged into the Brazilian car wash investigation by the end of the year as well. In an effort to keep investors and traders on side, Glencore switched its focus from deal making to a share buyback programme that saw it repurchase up to $1bn of stock in July and, another $1bn in December. Its dividend also tripled year-on-year, rising to $0.10 for both halves of 2018. $0.10 Glencore dividend in both halves of 2018 The decline in the company’s share price has meant that the stock currently offers a forward dividend yield of 5.26% and a price to earnings ratio of 6.91, which is attracting the attention of analysts with 12 out of 22 financial institutions holding ‘buy’ ratings for the stock. Since its IPO of 531.10p in 2011, Glencore’s share price has fallen 41%, it trades at 307.00p (at the time of writing). Oil and gas underpin earnings growth The massive price swings and oversupply warnings in oil impacted Glencore’s crude production in 2018, as it fell by 8% to 4.6 million barrels. Coal production meanwhile was 7% higher than in 2017 at 129.4 million tonnes. The global commodities market as a whole was the best performing asset class in 2018 after oil prices were slashed. Commodity prices particularly rallied when the US Federal Reserve signalled a slowing of interest rate rises and a lowered risk of recession, pushing Goldman Sachs towards an ‘overweight’ rating for the sector. Goldman also said European commodities and mining equities were “attractively positioned,” expecting a 10% rate of return in 2019. However, the suspense over the US-China trade talks continues to affect oil markets in the run up to 1 March. 10% Goldman's expected rate of return for European commodities and mining equities in 2019 “Resumption of the US-China trade talks has prompted risk-appetite in financial markets, which has also manifested in oil prices gaining strength,” Abhishek Kumar, analyst at Interfax Energy, said. “Nevertheless, there needs to be a tangible outcome from the talks for a sustained rally in prices.” Glencore plans to capitalise on battery mineral growth Recently, Glencore has begun targeting the renewable energy trend in electric vehicles as a key growth driver. Rapid advances in battery chemistry and tumbling prices has seen the energy-storage market boom. The market is expected to attract $620bn in investment over the next 22 years. Glencore is working to position itself as a core supplier. Rechargeable batteries used in electric vehicles are primarily made up of nickel and zinc, which increased in production by 13% and 2% respectively in 2018. The company expects 25%, 30% and 133% growth by 2020 in its copper, nickel and cobalt production respectively. Glencore’s wider mining production meanwhile for 2018 saw copper 11% higher than in 2017, due to its Democratic Republic of Congo operations recommencing, which had a knock-on effect with its cobalt production that soared 54% higher than 2017 – the highest increase out of all its mineral sources. Market cap £42.07bn PE ratio (TTM) 12.76 EPS (TTM) 24.00 Payout ratio 83.81% Glencore stock vitals, Yahoo finance, as at 1 March 2019 Changing of the old guard CEO Ivan Glasenberg, who helped make the company into a dominant force in commodities trading while also becoming the face of the industry, is set to retire in the next three to five years. The exit of Glasenberg will mark a generational shift at the top as he looks for a younger CEO to take his spot. The leadership upheaval also signifies the company’s changing face as it transitions into new areas in a bid to attract new growth and a stronger share price performance.

14:34		maywillow: Does Glencore PLC have a bright investment outlook? Could Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) deliver an improving share price performance? December 31, 2018 Robert Stephens Glencore (LON:GLEN) Glencore PLC Glencore PLC The prospects for resources stocks such as Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) could be relatively uncertain in my view. The stock has experienced a challenging number of months, with its share price declining by 26% during the course of 2018. In the near term, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is continued volatility for the stock. The US interest rate is expected to rise three times next year according to my research, and this could put a number of resources shares under pressure. A higher US interest rate could make commodities that are priced in dollars more expensive, and this may impact negatively on demand over the medium term. Following its share price fall, Glencore now has a single-digit P/E ratio. This suggests to me that it may offer good value for money and could have recovery potential over the long run. I believe that its exposure to the raw materials that are used in the manufacture of electric vehicles could provide it with a tailwind in future years. Demand for cleaner methods of transportation could increase, and this could offer a growth area for the business. Alongside this, Glencore has improved its balance sheet in recent years according to my research. It has been able to reduce debt levels and cut costs. These measures could lead to improving financial prospects over future years in an era where a tighter US monetary policy may put pressure on the wider resources industry. Therefore, while potentially volatile in the near term, I believe that the company could offer long-term investment potential. It appears to have a sound strategy which has focused on improving its financial strength, while also investing in potential growth areas. Following its share price fall, it now seems to offer a margin of safety. As a result, I’m cautiously optimistic about its prospects over future years.

08:41		maywillow: Is Glencore PLC’s share price set for further volatility? Could Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) experience further uncertainty? November 22, 2018 Robert Stephens Glencore (LON:GLEN) Glencore PLC Glencore PLC This year has been a relatively challenging one for the Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) share price. It has fallen by £1 per share, with it starting the year at £3.95 and now trading at £2.95. In my view, there could be further volatility ahead for the stock, with investors seemingly uncertain about the prospects for the world economy. This seems to have been prompted by the threat of rising US interest rates, which could reduce demand for commodities in future and also cause a slowdown in growth in the world economy. Alongside this, further tariffs cannot be ruled out. They could lead to pressure on the rate of global GDP growth over the medium term, which may cause investor sentiment towards the resources sector to decline to some degree. As well as external challenges, Glencore may also face regulatory risks. They could hold back its share price prospects, although the stock’s P/E ratio of around 8 indicates that it may already have a margin of safety factored into its share price. Given its relatively low valuation, I believe that the company may offer long-term investment potential. In the short run, it could experience further challenges, but I believe that the cost-reduction and debt-reduction strategies that have been pursued in recent years may have created a stronger business that is better able to cope with a volatile wider commodities market. Therefore, while I think that Glencore faces continued risks which may lead to further volatility, I am also of the view that it could offer good value for money at the moment. It is forecast to post modest EPS growth next year, and this could help to improve investor sentiment to at least some degree. As someone who is generally bullish about the outlook for the resources industry, I’m optimistic about the stock’s long-term outlook. However, I think its period of heightened volatility may not yet be over. About Robert Stephens 4928 Articles Robert Stephens is a CFA Charterholder and an Equity Analyst by trade.

15:58		the grumpy old men: Investomania Home Investing Articles FTSE 100 Lloyds Share Price BT Share Price Could Glencore PLC outperform the FTSE 100? Does Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) offer stronger investment prospects than the FTSE 100 (INDEXFTSE:UKX)? November 5, 2018 Robert Stephens Glencore (LON:GLEN) Glencore PLC Glencore PLC The prospects for the Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) share price may appear to be relatively uncertain at the moment. The company’s valuation has come under pressure in recent months, with fears surrounding the outlook for the world economy being a key reason for this in my view. Investors seem to be worried about the potential for further tariffs on imports from major economies such as the US and China. Alongside this, a higher US interest rate could be ahead as a result of strong GDP growth. This could lead to a stronger dollar, which could reduce demand for commodities across the globe. Glencore also faces regulatory risk in my view. The company may therefore face a challenging outlook, and I wouldn’t be surprised if its share price remains volatile over the coming months. Of course, the company now seems to be in a stronger financial position than it was a number of years ago. According to my research it has been able to reduce debt and cut costs, as well as follow through with an asset disposal programme. This seems to have put the company in a stronger position to cope with the ups-and-downs that seem to be a major part of the resources industry. Since the Glencore share price has fallen heavily in recent months, it now has a single-digit P/E ratio and a dividend yield that is approaching 6%. These figures could make it relatively attractive in my view, and may lead to scope for a higher share price over the long run. I remain relatively optimistic about the wider resources industry and the world economy’s outlook. Although there are risks, and volatility could be high, I feel that there remains growth potential which could lead to growing demand for a range of commodities. Therefore, I think the stock could beat the FTSE 100 in the long run, but it may experience further challenges in the short term.

October 23, 2018 Robert Stephens Glencore (LON:GLEN) Glencore PLC Glencore PLC The performance of the Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) share price has been disappointing in recent months. The mining company’s valuation has fallen by over 20% since the start of the year. One reason for this could be the uncertainty which the world economy is currently facing. There are fears that a stronger dollar could slow down the US economy, which could have a knock-on effect on the rest of the global economy. It could cause challenges in emerging markets due to the debt that they currently have after a long period of an expansive monetary policy. A higher US interest rate may also support a stronger dollar. This in itself may cause demand for commodities to fall, while the prospect of further tariffs being put in place may also have caused investors to become concerned about the prospects for the wider industry. There may also be regulatory risks holding back the Glencore share price. And in the near term, these factors could continue to weigh on its performance in my view. As a result, I wouldn’t be surprised if its market value comes under further pressure in the coming months. The company, though, seems to have made progress with its strategy in my opinion over the last few years. It now has a stronger balance sheet than it used to, with cash flow also improving as a result of various cost-saving initiatives. This could help the company to perform better in future, with volatile commodity price rises likely to be a key part of the industry in the coming years. With Glencore now having a dividend yield of almost 6% and a P/E ratio of around 9, I think that the company could offer good value for money versus the FTSE 100. While not the most stable or resilient of stocks due to its reliance on commodity prices, I feel that its share price fall has improved its risk to reward ratio for the long term.
