BHP’s proposal has several moving parts.
Traders are pushing Anglo American Plc shares above the value of BHP Group’s takeover proposal, a sign they expect a higher bid from the suitor or an interloper.
Add it up and the deal values Anglo at about 2 400 pence a share, according to a rough calculation by Bloomberg News based on where all the stocks are trading near midday in London. Anglo American shares are up 13% to 2 498.00 pence, about 4% above the implied potential bid price. A quick poll of nine analysts and risk-arbitrage traders in Europe shows they expect a miner such as Rio Tinto Plc and Glencore Plc to step in, or BHP to boost its offer. The big prize: Anglo’s production of copper, a key metal for the energy transition, used in everything from batteries to electrical wiring.
