Company by company
| Company | Tone | Stories | What the coverage was about |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glencore | +2.8 | 39 | Coverage centred on Glencore's third-quarter production report, with copper and ferrochrome output up and 2026 guidance maintained, though copper is seen at the lower end of the range. |
| Rio Tinto | −2.0 | 39 | Coverage was split between the halt to underground work at the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine, alongside a sharp share price fall, and the opening of two Argentine lithium projects. |
| Anglo American | +5.5 | 8 | Coverage was mostly about the pending Teck merger, with Teck's strong quarter and Anglo's steady output seen as supportive. |
| Endeavour Mining | −1.3 | 1 | The only relevant coverage was a commentary piece weighing Endeavour's growth against cash and balance sheet risks, which gives a slightly cautious lean. |
| Antofagasta | — | 0 | |
| Fresnillo | — | 0 |
