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.

31/12/2018 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.

22/11/2018 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.

05/11/2018 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.

23/10/2018 12:59	la forge: Are further share price falls ahead for Glencore PLC? Could Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) experience further challenges? 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.

22/10/2018 09:50	maywillow: 4 resources shares with growth potential? BP plc, Glencore PLC, Premier Oil PLC and Royal Dutch Shell Plc Do these stocks offer improving investment outlooks? BP plc (LON:BP) (BP.L), Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L), Premier Oil PLC (LON:PMO) (PMO.L) and Royal Dutch Shell Plc (LON:RDSB) (RDSB.L) October 22, 2018 Robert Stephens FTSE 100 Royal Dutch Shell Plc Royal Dutch Shell Plc The long-term prospects for the resources industry are relatively bright in my view, and that’s why I’m taking a closer look at BP plc (LON:BP) (BP.L), Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L), Premier Oil PLC (LON:PMO) (PMO.L) and Royal Dutch Shell Plc (LON:RDSB) (RDSB.L). BP could benefit from further rises in the oil price in my opinion. Geopolitical tension in countries such as Iran and Venezuela could lead to supply disruption, and this may mean that the oil price has further upside potential. With BP’s share price having a P/E of around 14, I think that it could offer good value for money. A dividend yield of 5.5% suggests to me that it may offer income potential, as well as capital growth prospects over the long run. Premier Oil may also benefit from a higher oil price. The company has been able to become increasingly efficient in recent years, and this is expected to help improve its cash flow in the second half of the year. Higher cash flow could be used to reduce debt levels and create a more sustainable business. With the company’s P/E ratio of around 6 suggesting to me that there may be a margin of safety on offer, I’m optimistic about the outlook for the Premier Oil share price. Glencore’s recent share price performance has been disappointing. Investors may be concerned about the stronger dollar, or by the regulatory risks which the company faces. I’m optimistic about the long-term future for the world economy, though, and believe that demand for commodities could remain high. With Glencore having improved its balance sheet and efficiency in recent years and it having a single-digit P/E ratio, I think that it could have investment appeal. Shell’s balance sheet could be set to improve through planned debt reduction, as well as an asset disposal programme. The FTSE 100 company may be able to strengthen its long-term outlook, while also increasing free cash flow over the next couple of years. With a dividend yield of over 5%, I feel that there could be further upside potential for the Shell share price. With a large and diverse asset base, I believe it could offer a sound risk to reward ratio. About Robert Stephens 4627 Articles Robert Stephens is a CFA Charterholder and an Equity Analyst by trade.

16/10/2018 08:37	la forge: What could the future hold for Aviva plc, Glencore PLC, Vodafone Group plc and Royal Dutch Shell Plc? Do these shares offer bright investment outlooks? Aviva plc (LON:AV) (AV.L), Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L), Vodafone Group plc (LON:VOD) (VOD.L) and Royal Dutch Shell Plc (LON:RDSB) (RDSB.L) October 16, 2018 Robert Stephens FTSE 100 Royal Dutch Shell Plc Royal Dutch Shell Plc The investment prospects of Aviva plc (LON:AV) (AV.L), Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L), Vodafone Group plc (LON:VOD) (VOD.L) and Royal Dutch Shell Plc (LON:RDSB) (RDSB.L) appear to be relatively bright in my view. Aviva is currently searching for a new CEO, which could create a degree of instability in the short run. However, with what seems to be a sound business model following its restructuring of recent years, I feel it could generate improving financial performance. With acquisitions set to be ahead alongside further investment in fast-growing markets, I believe that the Aviva share price could offer good value for money on a dividend yield of around 6%. Glencore’s recent share price falls could continue in the short run. Investor sentiment appears to be weak, and this trend could continue as fears surrounding regulatory risks continue. However, with a single-digit P/E ratio and what seems to be an improving business model, I’m upbeat about the outlook for the Glencore share price. With the world economy continuing to grow relatively quickly, I think it could benefit from a buoyant commodity marketplace. Vodafone’s share price fall has been disappointing in recent months. The company’s stock price has come under pressure as investors have become concerned about the level of investment required by the business. While this could hold back its performance in the near term, over the long run I believe that the FTSE 100 stock could offer upside potential. Vodafone has a 7%+ dividend yield and with acquisitions having been made recently, its EPS growth rate could improve over the next few years. Shell’s dividend yield continues to be relatively attractive in my view – even after its share price has performed relatively well in recent months. With a 5.5%+ dividend yield, the stock continues to have a yield that is around 150 basis points higher than the FTSE 100. Since I’m optimistic about the prospects for the oil price, I feel that Shell could offer upside potential, although volatility may be relatively high.

Of course, a stronger dollar may also have helped peg back the performance of the company’s stock price. This could have reduced demand for commodities across the globe, and this trend could continue as US interest rates are forecast to rise. In my view, the prospects for the Glencore share price may therefore be uncertain. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is further volatility ahead in the near term, which may lead to additional disappointment for the company’s investors. That said, the valuation of the stock now appears to be relatively low. It has a P/E ratio of around 9 according to my calculations, and this suggests that there could be a margin of safety on offer. Given the strength of the world economy’s growth rate, this could mean that the stock has investment appeal in my opinion. Glencore has been able to improve its business model in recent years to my mind. It has reduced debt and also cut costs in order to make itself more efficient. This could lead to a stronger financial outlook for the business, and it may prove to be more resilient during periods of heightened volatility for the wider resources industry. With the stock having a dividend yield in excess of 5%, I think that it could offer income investing appeal. Although it is riskier and more volatile than many FTSE 100 dividend stocks, in the long run the total returns which may be available could prove to be relatively sound. Therefore, while its performance in 2018 has been disappointing, the long-term recovery potential for the business remains sound in my view. Its shares may fall further in the near term, but could offer turnaround potential in the coming years.
