Glencore Lifts Trading Profit Outlook Above $5B, Sets New Long-Term Guidance
GLNCY sits 67% above its 52-week low of $8.66.
Summary
Glencore raised its 2026 commodity trading profit guidance to above $5B, up from ~$4.9B, putting it on track for one of its best years ever. The company also introduced a new long-term framework starting 2027, guiding marketing adjusted operating profit to $2.8B-$4.2B, assuming higher RMI of $32.2B and 5% funding costs. This follows the recent NSW approval to extend Hunter Valley mine life to 2045, adding to positive operational momentum. The upgrade reflects strong trading conditions and higher inventory levels, though it remains below the record $6.4B from 2022. Watch for actual trading profit realization and any further guidance updates with quarterly results.
