Experts have mixed feelings about Teck Resources Ltd. amid its proposed merger with Anglo American. While some analysts express optimism about the long-term benefits of merging complementary assets and the potential to become a major player in the copper market, others highlight execution risks associated with the deal. Recent performance shows strong copper production and earnings beats, but fears persist regarding the dependency on copper prices and geopolitical factors. The upcoming vote on the merger and the company's challenged QB2 mine have led to cautious sentiment among investors. Overall, while some analysts view the stock as a good opportunity, others advise waiting for better entry points post merger completion.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 1/08. Down 90.2%.) Doesn't like the sector and doesn't think there is a lot to drive this to get a whole lot better. Extremely speculative.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Too much leverage. Probably a survivor but there is a risk they will be forced to sell their best assets.
DON'T BUY
Paid too much for Fording at the top of the last cycle and now have a debt problem. At some point, bondholders have a right to demand payment and this is the issue this company faces.
COMMENT
Asset rich and NAV poor so unlikely will be taken over. More likely it will be buyers for pieces of the assets. Extremely sensitive to coal price now which is being quoted from $125-$200. He thinks they will sell enough assets by the fall to survive and pay off the debt that is due.
DON'T BUY
Gotten themselves boxed by making a big acquisition near the top of the market. Financing has become very difficult for them. Have been selling assets. It's hard to know if they will be able to meet all the covenances and get the money.
DON'T BUY
A tough one for a lot of Canadian investors. Had been a wonderful company for a long time. Took a big bite when it bought the coal assets and are now paying for it. Coal shipments are down 10%, which hurts the cash flow. Have a $5.8 billion bridge loan coming due in September.
COMMENT
Unfortunately acquired Fording Coal at the top of the market and took on large debt. Once commodity prices rebound, it should go higher.
WAIT
Bought Fording just before the peak in the market so timing was brutal. A good strategy with this company would be to wait all of 09 because they have so many debt maturities coming due and there is so much concern on how they're going to finance them.
DON'T BUY
Zinc mines are closing all over. Large debt. Coal started to fall right after they bought Fording. They need to see global steel making get strong again and that people feel the base metal story has legs. Will be a while.
DON'T BUY
Very good company with very good assets has got themselves into problems with the balance sheet. Have a bridge loan that has to be refinanced. Until it's done, the market is not giving them any benefit of the doubt.
DON'T BUY
Bought Fording Coal at the peak of the coal market and then saw it collapse beneath them along with the price of other metals. Balance sheet is severely levered. If the economy comes back there should be strong demand for metallurgical coal.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Just getting lined up or as seasonal trade.
COMMENT
Iron/steel demand is down dramatically. Sees economic weakness globally. Metallurgical coal prices will be set in the next few months and he can't see it doing anything but go down.
DON'T BUY
Recently sold his holdings. Had liked its diversity of assets as well as its balance sheet. All changed when they acquired Fording Coal and a copper company at the peak. Have a lot of debt. Would like to see a management change.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 1/08. Down 83.9%.) If you have to have a play in the mining/metals sector, this would be a good bet if things do turn around.
