Quantum Corp Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 122.1%

<p><strong>Anglo American</strong> (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAUKF#OTC">AAUKF</a>) has agreed to sell its Australian steelmaking coal portfolio to <strong>Peabody Energy</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTU#NYSE">BTU</a>) for up to $3.8 billion. The sale marks another step toward future-facing commodities, following the $1.1 billion sale of its stake in the <strong>Jellinbah Group</strong> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/41739206/anglo-american-offloads-1-1-billion-coal-stake-proceeds-with-restructuring">earlier this month</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;We're pleased to acquire these world-class assets from Anglo American, a company that shares our strong values of safety, sustainability, and social license to operate,&#8221; <a href="https://www.angloamerican.com/media/press-releases/2024/25-11-2024">said</a> Peabody CEO <strong>Jim Grech.</strong> &#8220;We look forward to integrating these assets, teaming up with their highly skilled workforce, and aligning with our new mine joint venture partners to create long-term value.&#8221;</p>
<p>This coal portfolio includes an 88% stake in the <strong>Moranbah North JV</strong>, a 70% interest in the <strong>Capcoal JV</strong>, and several other major interests, such as the <strong>Dawson</strong> and <strong>Roper Creek JVs</strong>. These assets are critical producers of metallurgical coal, essential for steelmaking, and should be meaningful contributors to Peabody&#8217;s operations.</p>
<p>Per the deal's terms, Anglo American will receive an upfront cash payment of $2.05 billion, deferred cash payments totaling $725 million, a price-linked earnout of up to $550 million, and $450 million contingent on the reopening of the <strong>Grosvenor</strong> mine. The deal will close by Q3 2025, pending regulatory approvals.</p>

<p>&#8220;The sale of our steelmaking coal business is another important step toward delivering the strategy we set out in May to create a world-class copper, premium iron ore, and crop nutrients business. We're focused on streamlining costs, simplifying our portfolio, and unlocking market value,&#8221; said Anglo American CEO <strong>Duncan Wanblad</strong>.</p>
<p>The company has set a target of $1 billion in cost savings by 2025 and expects an additional $800 million in recurring pre-tax benefits. The broader restructuring plan includes divesting from coal, platinum, nickel, and diamonds. The demerger of <strong>Anglo American Platinum</strong> (Amplats) is expected by mid-2025, and the nickel business sale is progressing with strong interest.</p>
<p>The crown jewel of Anglo American&#8217;s portfolio, <strong>De Beers</strong>, remains on books. Weaker Chinese diamond demand and an influx of synthetics have created persisting weakness, making asset sales unattractive.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, Anglo American embarked on a major restructuring to fend off a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/05/39068033/time-runs-out-for-bhp-deal-49-billion-acquisition-of-anglo-american-proves-too-complex-to-solve">takeover bid from <strong>BHP</strong></a>. To position itself for long-term growth, the company is focusing on high-margin, future-facing minerals like copper, quality iron ore, and crop nutrients.</p>

"We're organizing and winning contracts faster than ever before because everyone in this field recognizes we're a force to be reckoned with. Congratulations to all of the workers who stuck together to demand a contract with the same high standards we've secured for other multi-state cannabis operators in Illinois."</p>

    </style><p>By analyzing Amazon.com, we can infer the following trends: </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The current Price to Earnings ratio of <b>42.12</b> is <b>2.04x</b> higher than the industry average, indicating the stock is priced at a premium level according to the market sentiment.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The elevated Price to Book ratio of <b>8.0</b> relative to the industry average by <b>1.52x</b> suggests company might be overvalued based on its book value.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The Price to Sales ratio of <b>3.4</b>, which is <b>2.11x</b> the industry average, suggests the stock could potentially be overvalued in relation to its sales performance compared to its peers.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>With a Return on Equity (ROE) of <b>6.19%</b> that is <b>1.82%</b> below the industry average, it appears that the company exhibits potential inefficiency in utilizing equity to generate profits.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The company exhibits higher Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of <b>$32.08 Billion</b>, which is <b>4.59x</b> above the industry average, implying stronger profitability and robust cash flow generation.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The gross profit of <b>$31.0 Billion</b> is <b>2.15x</b> above that of its industry, highlighting stronger profitability and higher earnings from its core operations.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The company's revenue growth of <b>11.04%</b> is notably higher compared to the industry average of <b>8.66%</b>, showcasing exceptional sales performance and strong demand for its products or services.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1732546845_0.png" alt="debt to equity" /></p>
<p>The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio assesses the extent to which a company relies on borrowed funds compared to its equity.</p>
<p>Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.</p>
<p>When assessing Amazon.com against its top 4 peers using the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following comparisons can be made:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Amazon.com is in a relatively stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers, as evidenced by its lower debt-to-equity ratio of <b>0.52</b>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>This implies that the company relies less on debt financing and has a more favorable balance between debt and equity.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
<p>For Amazon.com, the PE, PB, and PS ratios are all high compared to its peers in the Broadline Retail industry, indicating that the stock may be overvalued. The low ROE suggests that Amazon.com is not generating significant returns on shareholder equity. However, the high EBITDA, gross profit, and revenue growth show that the company is performing well in terms of operational efficiency and revenue generation compared to its industry peers.</p>
