Antofagasta Sees Strong H1 2026 with 27% EBITDA Jump

Antofagasta plc reported a strong first half of 2026 with EBITDA rising by 27% to $2.84 billion, driven by higher realised copper prices and operational efficiency gains.

The company's revenue increased by 18% to $4.48 billion, while operating cash flow surged 53% to $2.77 billion.

Copper output for the six-month period totalled 285,000 tonnes, a 9% decline compared to the previous year due to reduced volumes at Los Pelambres and Centinela mines.
