Glencore reported strong half-year results for 2026, with its Chief Executive Officer, Gary Nagle, highlighting that the company delivered a robust operational and financial performance.

Net debt stood at $10.2 billion, down $1.0 billion, and available committed liquidity reached $14.0 billion. Additionally, the company announced a top-up special cash distribution of $8.5 cents per share and a $500 million share buyback, bringing total 2026 shareholder returns to approximately $3.5 billion. The company also aims to apply for a secondary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in October 2026, which would provide strategic benefits such as access to a sophisticated investor base and enhanced corporate financial flexibility.
