Teck Resources posts strong Q3 2026 results and lowers cost guidance amid merger progress

Teck Resources reported unaudited third‑quarter 2026 results showing adjusted EBITDA of C$2.3 billion and adjusted profit per share of C$1.88, both well above the prior year. The company lowered its 2026 net‑cash unit‑cost guidance for copper and zinc and said the merger with Anglo American remains on track to close within 12‑18 months. Record copper prices and higher production drove the performance despite severe weather disruptions at several sites.

The earnings beat and lower cost guidance improve Teck’s cash generation outlook, which may support higher dividends or debt reduction, and the unchanged merger timeline reduces uncertainty for shareholders awaiting the combined entity. Analysts at StoneX raised their price target to $72, reflecting the stronger results.
