Commodity prices have generally stabilized after falling on concerns that China’s reopening would underwhelm, along with worries over a recession in the West. Even so, they remain elevated versus history and cost-curve support. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions on Russia support energy prices and reinforce the importance of energy security.
BHP is a global diversified miner mainly supplying iron ore, copper, and metallurgical coal. The merger of BHP Limited and Billiton PLC created the present-day BHP Group. The dual listed structure from the 2001 BHP and Billiton merger was collapsed in 2022. Major assets include Pilbara iron ore, Queensland coking coal, and Escondida copper. Onshore U.S. oil and gas assets were sold in 2018 and the remaining Petroleum assets were spun off and merged with Woodside in 2022, with BHP vesting the Woodside shares it received to BHP shareholders. BHP is growing its nickel business to supply more battery grade nickel and is also entering the potash market through the development of its Jansen mine in Canada. It also purchased copper miner Oz Minerals in fiscal 2023.

BHP’s stock style is Large Value.
Style is an investment factor that has a meaningful impact on investment risk and returns.
Style is calculated by combining value and growth scores, which are first individually calculated.
High-growth stocks tend to represent the technology, healthcare, and communications sectors. They rarely distribute dividends to shareholders, opting for reinvestment in their businesses. More value-oriented stocks tend to represent financial services, utilities, and energy stocks. These are established companies that reliably pay dividends.
