What Minmetals Development does

Metals and minerals trading arm of state conglomerate China Minmetals, dealing steel, coking coal and ores.

Buys and resells steel, coal and ores to end users and steel mills, earning a thin margin per tonne, so volumes handled and inventory and credit risk matter more than any product advantage. China Minmetals, the state-owned metals group, controls it.

Is Minmetals Development expensive compared with its peers?

How has Minmetals Development stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -21.6% against -3.0% for the median peer; over one year -7.6%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
