Glencore open to deals as investors brace for more mining M&A
Potential M&As were the main interest for investors in the sector in 2024, but BHP’s failed bid for Anglo cooled deals down.
Swedish mining gear maker Epiroc reported second-quarter operating earnings just below market expectations on Tuesday and forecast demand would remain at a stable high level in the near term.
Operating earnings at the firm rose to 2.18 billion Swedish crowns ($250.8 million) from 1.42 billion a year earlier, lagging the 2.25 billion average analyst forecast according to Refinitiv data.
