Glencore stock (ISIN JE00B4T3BW64) was last at GBp 570.50 on October 5, 2026 at 4:29 p.m. London time, up 1.62 percent on the London Stock Exchange. The company now expects full-year 2026 Marketing adjusted EBIT to exceed USD 5 billion, according to Glencore in its October 2, 2026 release.

Trading guidance moves higher

The updated outlook is above the USD 4.9 billion mathematical full-year outcome indicated alongside the first-half results. Glencore also changed its long-term methodology for 2027 onward, producing an indicative Marketing adjusted EBIT range of USD 2.8 billion to USD 4.2 billion and a midpoint of USD 3.5 billion.

The company linked that framework to Readily Marketable Inventories and funding costs. RMI stood at USD 32.2 billion on June 30, 2026, versus USD 25.4 billion on June 30, 2025, while the company cited a current marketing funding cost of 5 percent in the October 2 release.

First-half earnings set the base

Glencore's first-half 2026 adjusted EBITDA rose 86 percent to USD 10.1 billion, while Marketing adjusted EBIT increased 142 percent to USD 3.3 billion, Mining Digital reported on October 5, 2026. The comparison matters because the marketing division's first-half result already exceeded the previous long-term annual midpoint of USD 2.9 billion cited in current coverage.

Analyst target stays above price

MarketBeat reported on October 5, 2026 that Deutsche Bank reiterated a Buy rating and set a GBp 630 price target. The same overview showed a Moderate Buy consensus from six analysts and an average price target of GBp 660, which lies 15.69 percent above the GBp 570.50 price.

The next structural milestone is Glencore's Australian Securities Exchange secondary listing. Glencore states that trading in the company's CHESS Depositary Interests is expected to begin on October 14, 2026 under the ticker GLC.

Stock remains below yearly high

Glencore stock's October 5, 2026 range was GBp 561.00 to GBp 570.80, with volume of 17,559,464 shares. The 52-week range was GBp 332.20 to GBp 707.20, placing the last price below the yearly high while the market capitalization stood at GBP 66.7 billion.
