BlackRock sees “a huge value opportunity” in mining industry for green transition

Evy Hambro, global head of thematic and sector investing at BlackRock Inc, has said in a recent interview, that the mining sector is undervalued with potential for a significant boom.

“Our view from speaking to our clients and investors at large is that the opportunity within this space has been massively overlooked. If you’re focused on sustainability, if you’re focused on the energy transition, don’t overlook this area. There’s a huge value opportunity”
— Evy Hambro, global head of thematic and sector investing at BlackRock

Evy Hambro was critical of the mining industry’s overspend in the previous boom and warns again against such overspending, but also warns that the green transition will be threatened without bigger investment in the sector.

“If people don’t give this sector a chance, then the energy transition is going to be impeded by the scarcity of materials to build everything required. This energy transition is starting to expose some weaknesses in that kind of complacent attitude”
— Evy Hambro, global head of thematic and sector investing at BlackRock

In their recent mining report, BlackRock remained bullish on mining.
