  • Glencore Shares Up 37.9% in One Year but Valuation Concerns Loom
    February 5, 2026, 8:53 PM EST. Glencore's (LSE:GLEN) stock surged 37.9% over the past year, closing at £4.75, yet recent declines and valuation metrics raise questions. Despite strong commodity market exposure and a notable 125.7% five-year return, Glencore scores only 3 out of 6 for undervaluation on Simply Wall St. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis shows the shares may be around 24.4% overvalued, based on projected cash flows to 2035. The price-to-sales ratio further highlights mixed investor sentiment balancing growth and risk. As Glencore undergoes scrutiny, investors must weigh recent gains against fundamental value signals in a volatile market environment.
