Description: BBU Brookfield Business Partners November 10, 2025
Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (ticker BBU) is a Bermuda-registered private-equity platform that originated in 2016 as a subsidiary of Brookfield Corporation. It targets majority-control investments in growth-oriented businesses across business services, infrastructure, construction, energy and industrial sectors, with a global mandate and a required internal rate of return of roughly 15-20 %.
In practice, BBU’s portfolio is weighted toward long-term, capital-intensive assets that benefit from secular trends such as rising infrastructure spending (global government investment is projected to exceed $1.7 trillion annually through 2028) and the energy transition, which fuels demand for renewable-focused industrial operators. Recent quarterly filings show the company generated approximately $1.1 billion in revenue and a 12-month EBITDA margin near 18 %, underscoring its focus on cash-flow stability.
Investors often monitor BBU’s dividend yield (around 5 % as of the latest distribution) and its leverage ratio (net debt to EBITDA ≈ 3.2×), both of which reflect the firm’s strategy of using disciplined debt to amplify returns while maintaining financial flexibility.
