What the Analysts think about Antofagasta
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Antofagasta stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Antofagasta stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
H1 2026 EBITDA rose 27% to $2.84 billion, operating cash flow increased 53% to $2.77 billion, and the EBITDA margin reached 63.4%; the interim dividend was increased 81% year on year. (Reuters; Antofagasta)
Centinela and Los Pelambres growth projects remain on track toward 2027 commissioning and are expected to lift copper production by approximately 30%. Antofagasta also says peak capital expenditure for its current growth phase has passed, supporting future free-cash-flow potential. (Antofagasta)
Net cash costs fell 8% year on year to $1.22 per pound in H1 2026, helped by stronger gold and molybdenum by-product credits and productivity measures. This demonstrates the portfolio’s ability to protect margins despite lower copper volumes and higher industry input costs. (Antofagasta)
Antofagasta cut 2026 copper-production guidance to 625,000–655,000 tonnes from 650,000–700,000 tonnes after extreme weather forced a shutdown at Los Pelambres; repairs to pipeline platforms and water-management systems remain necessary. (Reuters)
H1 2026 copper production fell 9% year on year to 285,000 tonnes, mainly because of weaker output at Los Pelambres and Centinela. The concentration of production in these assets leaves earnings sensitive to mine-plan execution and operational disruption. (Antofagasta)
Cost inflation remains a risk: Antofagasta cited higher input costs and fuel prices, while its full-year cash-cost outlook was raised to $2.40–$2.60 per pound before by-product credits. The company also approved approximately $0.9 billion for Zaldívar’s water infrastructure, adding to capital intensity. (Reuters; Antofagasta)
