Anglo American Rejects BHP Billiton Bid: What Happens Next?

Ben Davis, mining analyst at Liberum, comments on Anglo American's widely-expected rejection of a $39 billion takeover proposal from BHP. Analysts and some Anglo investors had seen BHP’s proposal as well below the sort of price that would bring the 107-year-old miner to the table. "The structure was very unattractive," Davis tells Bloomberg Television. "They were asked to spin out Kumba [Kumba Iron Ore] and the Anglo platinum [Anglo American Platinum] stake holdings to their shareholders, which would have created a huge amount of flowback uncertainty."

it's called BHP since 2017.
BHP Billiton was YEARS ago, but BHP quite rightly disposed of most of Billiton's inferior assets after the merger.

Cue South African Fund managers, quietly increasing stakes in BHP! Anglo American will always be a Legacy South African Company.
