Bulls say / Bears say
Higher copper prices helped lift first-half EBITDA by 27% and nearly doubled the interim dividend, showing the earnings leverage of Antofagasta’s copper exposure. (Reuters)
Centinela and Los Pelambres projects are progressing towards commissioning in 2027 and are expected to raise group copper production by about 30%, offering a substantial growth path. (Antofagasta PLC)
Third-quarter copper output rose 7% from the previous quarter and the company maintained its 2026 production guidance, evidence that output is recovering after a weak first half. (MiningWeekly)
Extreme weather forced a shutdown at Los Pelambres and pushed the 2026 copper-output forecast down to 625,000–655,000 tonnes from 650,000–700,000 tonnes. (Reuters)
Higher fuel prices led Antofagasta to raise its 2026 cash-cost forecast before by-product credits to $2.60–$2.70 per pound, squeezing margins if copper prices weaken. (MiningWeekly)
A labour dispute is a fresh operational risk: more than 700 Centinela workers began an indefinite strike in October after talks failed. (MINING.COM)
