(BHP) BHP - Ratings and Ratios
Copper, Iron, Coal, Nickel, Potash
Description: BHP BHP September 25, 2025
BHP Group Limited (NYSE:BHP) is a globally diversified resources company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, with operations spanning Australia, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Its primary business segments are Copper, Iron Ore, and Coal, and it extracts a broad portfolio of commodities including copper, uranium, gold, zinc, lead, molybdenum, silver, iron ore, cobalt, metallurgical and energy coal, nickel, and potash.
Beyond extraction, BHP engages in downstream activities such as smelting and refining (notably nickel), as well as ancillary services including towing, freight, marketing, trading, finance, and administration, supporting its integrated value chain.
Key recent performance indicators (FY 2023) show adjusted EBITDA of roughly US$45 billion, free cash flow of US$15 billion, and a dividend yield near 5.5%, reflecting strong cash generation despite volatile commodity prices. Capital expenditures were directed toward expanding copper and nickel projects, with total capex of about US$13 billion.
Strategic economic drivers for BHP include the accelerating demand for copper driven by electric-vehicle and renewable-energy infrastructure (global copper consumption is projected to grow ~5 % CAGR through 2030), constrained iron-ore supply from Brazil’s logistical bottlenecks that support higher pricing, and the gradual decline of thermal-coal demand in Europe and North America, which pressures BHP’s coal segment and incentivizes diversification into metallurgical coal and low-carbon assets.
