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>
