Anglo American plc (LON:AAL), one of the world’s largest diversified miners, sits at the centre of multiple storylines as of 1 December 2025: a proposed “merger of equals” with Canada’s Teck Resources, the end of BHP’s takeover ambitions, a sweeping portfolio restructuring, and a powerful upswing in copper prices. For investors trying to decide what to do with Anglo American stock now, the picture is complex but unusually clear: this is becoming a copper‑heavy, energy‑transition‑focused miner, with high strategic upside and equally meaningful execution and regulatory risk.
