Winston Score History

The full picture

Anglo American is a large mining company based in London that digs up and sells natural resources from the ground. Its main products include copper, iron ore, platinum group metals, and diamonds — the diamonds come through its majority ownership of De Beers, one of the most recognized diamond brands in the world. It sells these materials to manufacturers, jewelers, and industrial buyers across many industries.

The company makes money by extracting these minerals and selling them at market prices, which means its revenue rises and falls with global commodity prices. Anglo American operates mines across South Africa, Chile, Brazil, Australia, and other countries, making it a truly global business with roughly $30 billion in annual revenue. The company is currently going through a major restructuring — selling or spinning off several businesses including De Beers and its platinum division — to focus on copper, which it sees as a key growth driver given rising demand from electric vehicles and clean energy infrastructure.

Growth + cash flow

Anglo American is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 10%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
