Summary
Teck Resources (TECK) Q2 2026 — Teck Resources (TECK), the Vancouver miner transforming from a coal-and-metals house into a focused copper producer, reported a record Q2 2026 (in C$, IFRS): adjusted EPS of C$1.93 crushed the ~C$1.41 estimate (a ~C$0.52 beat) on revenue of C$3.61B (+79% YoY). Adjusted EBITDA roughly tripled to ~C$2.2B — a record 61% margin — as copper production jumped 25% to 135,900 tonnes into record ~US$6.05/lb prices.

Our call: HOLD, 3/5 — a world-class copper transformation, executed beautifully, but priced near fair value at peak prices with a big merger still to clear. Financials in C$; price/valuation in US$. Teck Resources is a company in the middle of a dramatic makeover — from a sprawling coal-and-metals miner into a focused copper powerhouse, built on tier-one, long-life assets like the QB mine in Chile. Q2 2026 was a record quarter (reported in Canadian dollars): adjusted EPS of C$1.93 crushed the ~C$1.41 estimate on revenue up 79% to C$3.61B, and adjusted EBITDA roughly tripled to about C$2.2B — a record 61% margin.
