1228 GMT - Anglo American should use cash raised from divestments to reduce its debt pile over the next twelve months, Jefferies analysts write. Anglo posted 2025 results on Friday that saw earnings come in ahead of the analysts expectations. Looking ahead, Anglo's push to break up its business will drive earnings higher, while the move to exit diamond business De Beers will boost the London miners valuation, they say. Anglo's pending merger with Teck Resources will finalize before the end of the year, the analysts estimate. Anglo shares rise 0.6% in afternoon European trade.(josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
