BHP sold 350,000 metric tons of copper in the fourth quarter, down 8% on a year ago, with fiscal 2026 volumes falling 7% to 1.38 million. While Western Australian Iron Ore, or WAIO, sales volumes were also lower, by 2% to 66 million metric tons, they were flat for the fiscal year, at 254 million.
BHP is a beneficiary of continued global economic growth and demand for the commodities it produces.
BHP has shown improved capital allocation since its missteps during the China boom, but continuing high commodity prices could encourage it to once again aggressively expand output.
