Anglo American (AAL): news on Saturday 14 November 2026
News from the 24 hours to Saturday morning, 14 November 2026.
Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage centred on Anglo American's exit from diamonds, with Angola seeking a 10% De Beers stake and a preferred buyer emerging, alongside progress on the Australian coal sale. A weaker share price on Friday and some neutral commentary tempered the positive tone.
What drove it
- De Beers divestment
- Australian coal sale
- share price dip
