Anglo American plc Stock (AAL): Dividend Dates, Anglo‑Teck Merger Milestones, and 2026 Copper Forecasts (Dec. 23, 2025)

London-listed Anglo American plc is ending 2025 with its investment story compressed into two big levers: a once-in-a-generation copper market and a once-in-a-generation corporate reshuffle. On December 23, those levers are both moving. The company has published provisional 2026 dividend timetables, while the proposed Anglo‑Teck “merger of equals” has cleared major procedural and political hurdles in Canada—yet still faces the final, fussy gatekeepers of global competition and regulatory approvals. At the same time, copper is flirting with the $12,000/ton level amid supply disruptions and tariff-driven distortions that have split the market into “metal-rich” and “metal-starved” regions.

London South East+1 For market participants tracking BAT from outside the UK—especially those following cross-border flows and India-linked developments (relevant to India’s market ecosystem, including BSE Ltd.)—the recent ITC Hotels stake sale adds an extra subplot: BAT

Singapore Airlines Ltd (Singapore Airlines / “SIA”, SGX: C6L) is back in the spotlight on Tuesday, December 23, 2025—not because of a flashy headline about a new route or aircraft order, but because this is the day shareholders receive a cash dividend payout that has become central to the current SIA stock narrative: strong travel demand and high load factors on one hand, but softer profitability and intensifying competition on the other. SIA shares were trading around S$6.35 on Dec 23, with a day range of S$6.31–S$6.36 and a 52-week range of S$5.90–S$7.63, according to Investing.com’s market data snapshot for
