Glencore announces $1 billion share buyback after sale of agribusiness



07/03/2025 3:11 AM


Glencore Plc, a top diversified commodity group globally, has revealed a new share repurchase program valued at up to $1 billion following the conclusion of the sale of its agricultural division Viterra.



The program is set to commence on July 7 and is scheduled for completion in February 2026.

On July 2, Glencore finalized the agreement to transfer Viterra to American Bunge Ltd. Consequently, the firm acquired 16.4% of Bunge shares and roughly $900 million in cash, intended for share repurchase.

In February, the firm previously disclosed a $1 billion repurchase.

In April, Glencore shares dropped to the lowest point in four years due to foreign trade uncertainties and a downturn in the metals market. Since that time, they have regained some ground, yet in the last year, the company has seen a decline of approximately 35% in its market value.
