But with the company showing determination to tackle its enormous debt pile, investors are piling back in.
Analysts at Deutsche Bank told clients to buy Glencore stock, saying it could increase by 60% to 200p.
The company still has decent assets to sell and should weather the era of low commodities prices, according to the note.

Glencore said on Wednesday that it paid three bonds worth around $2 billion (£1.3 billion) and repurchased another $400 million (£260 million) of debt from creditors.
The company said it was targeting a net debt figure of $25 billion (£16 billion) by the end of the year, reducing it by about a fifth from last year. Shares responded with a 6% jump.
And they're still going up, here's how it's looking at the open on Thursday:
