- Wednesday, May 8, 10:27 AM Mosaic (MOS +1.6%) represents the best option for an acquirer seeking to gain a foothold in the potash industry, and BHP is the most likely suitor, Bloomberg speculates. On May 26, charitable trusts associated with Cargill’s founding family can begin the process of selling restricted MOS shares they got when Mosaic split from Cargill Inc. in 2011, opening the door to a sale of the whole company. Comment! [Commodities, M&A, On the Move]
- Thursday, January 24, 10:34 AM Commodity prices are rebounding, but don’t expect megadeals in mining as a new crop of CEOs takes over, WSJ reports. At least 20 mining CEOs have stepped down in the past year, some related to unsuccessful acquisitions, and big deals are unlikely when many CEOs are new to their roles. "There will be M&A but it is likely to be very strategic, brownfield-related and very carefully thought through.” 2 Comments [Commodities, M&A]
- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 5:02 PM BHP Billiton (BHP) sells its 8.33% stake in the East Browse joint venture and 20% interest in the West Browse joint venture, both located off the West Australian coast, to PetroChina (PTR) for $1.63B in cash. BHP exec Michael Yeager says the liquefied natural gas project interests were a non-strategic asset. Comment! [Energy, M&A, Global & FX]
- Thursday, December 6, 2012, 9:18 AM Investors seem to take seriously the latest takeover chatter surrounding Walter Energy (WLT), sending shares +7.5% premarket as vague rumors circulate that bidders could emerge. BHP Billiton (BHP) is said to be interested again; Glencore (GLCNF.PK) could be another candidate; Anglo American has been mentioned in the past. Other coal names are up: ANR +1.9%, CNX +1.6%, ACI +1.3%, BTU +0.8%. 5 Comments [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
- Wednesday, December 5, 2012, 7:45 PM Speculation continues to build on rumors that BHP Billiton (BHP) is considering a bid for Walter Energy (WLT). BHP is said to be considering a $55 per share all cash offer, and if true, would be the "swan song" for current WLT CEO Marius Kloppers, whom which BHP is said to be planning a successor for. Xtrata's Mick ‘the miner’ Davis is said to be a frontrunner to take his place. BHP -0.2%, WLT -2.3% AH. 1 Comment [Global & FX, M&A, On the Move]
- Friday, November 30, 2012, 10:00 AM Walter Energy (WLT +4.4%) shares surge in early trading as renewed chatter of takeover interest from BHP Billiton (BHP) makes the rounds. WLT was the subject of rumored interest from the likes of BHP, Rio Tinto and others late last year (I, II). Comment! [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
- Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 9:57 AM Harry Winston Diamond (HWD -2.1%) agrees to buy BHP Billiton’s (BHP -1.2%) diamonds business for $500M, as BHP elects to get out of the diamond business because it could not build up enough scale to make it worthwhile. The deal includes BHP’s 80% stake in the rich Ekati diamond mine in the Northwest Territories, along with its diamond marketing business. Comment! [Commodities, M&A, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 3, 2012, 3:52 PM Count BHP Billiton (BHP -1.2%) among big players pursuing a stake in Petrobras' (PBR -1.3%) Gulf of Mexico oil fields, a pairing that would significantly bolster BHP's already strong presence in the Gulf, WSJ reports. PBR has stakes in more than 100 exploration blocks in the Gulf; its sale plans are part of a broader effort to raise ~$15B through divestments. 1 Comment [Energy, M&A, Global & FX]
- Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 9:58 AM BHP's slowing of its project development cycle will make it more difficult for aspiring iron ore producers to raise financing, likely leaving cash-strapped smaller companies vulnerable to takeovers, Ernst & Young's Mike Elliott speculates. Miners such as CLF, TCK or AAUKY.PK that could cut costs by sharing infrastructure to get their material from pit to port could be the most logical candidates. Comment! [Commodities, M&A]
- Friday, August 31, 2012, 5:54 PM Something else for Xstrata (XSRAY.PK) shareholders to consider when voting next week whether to accept Glencore's (GLCNF.PK) takeover offer: the highest employee fatality rate among its closest peers. Glencore disclosed 36 employee fatalities in the past two years, four times more than Xstrata; death rates also far exceeded those at BHP, RIO and AAUKY.PK. Comment! [Commodities, M&A]
- Monday, August 27, 2012, 7:46 AM BHP continues to play defense, selling its Australian uranium assets to Cameco (CCJ) for $430M. "We can't pursue all of the growth operations that are before us," says a BHP spokesman. Cameco, on the other hand, has a more optimistic outlook for uranium in the wake of Fukushima than does BHP. (PR) 1 Comment [Commodities, M&A]
- Monday, August 6, 2012, 3:52 PM Harry Winston (HWD +2.2%) has secured bank financing for a potential deal to buy the Ekati diamond mine from BHP Billiton (BHP +0.7%), but the sale process has moved slowly and may still break down, FT reports. Complicating things is Rio Tinto's (RIO) nearby mine it may want to sell; HWD owns a 40% stake and may decide to pick up the remaining 60%, but it can't afford to do both deals. Comment! [Commodities, M&A, On the Move]
- Thursday, May 3, 2012, 11:42 AM Walter Energy's (WLT +5.5%) Q1 earnings dropped 50% and fell short of estimates, as the coal producer posted higher operating costs and increased interest expenses, but shares are moving higher on a renewal of old rumors that BHP Billiton (BHP -1.4%) may be looking to make a bid for the company. Comment! [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
- Monday, April 16, 2012, 8:48 AM KKR reportedly is working on a deal to buy the diamond units currently owned by BHP Billiton (BHP) and Rio Tinto (RIO) and combine the two. KKR is leading bids in a $750M auction of BHP’s Ekati diamond mine in Canada after Apollo (APO) and Gem Diamonds (GMDMY.PK) reportedly dropped out; Harry Winston Diamonds (HW) is said to remain in the running. Comment! [Commodities, M&A]
- Monday, April 2, 2012, 8:25 AM Molycorp (MCP) pops on a Bloomberg report seeing the company as a takeover play, and suggesting BHP and Rio Tinto (RIO) as possible buyers. One hedge fund manager (long the stock?) suggests the firm could fetch $60/share against the Friday close of $33.83. Shares +3% premarket. Comment! [Commodities, M&A]
- Thursday, December 15, 2011, 8:38 AM Walter Energy (WLT) +3.5% premarket following a Daily Mail story that the coal producer could be a takeover target by Rio Tinto (RIO) or BHP Billiton (BHP). Global miners are scrambling for coal assets, and analysts speculate Walter's takeout price could double its current ~$60/share. Comment! [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
