BHP Results Excellent, but Some Tailwinds to Subside

0216 GMT - BHP's consensus-beating annual results top off what was a very good year for the world's No. 1 miner, says Jefferies. The growth in BHP's copper earnings--to account for 54% of annual underlying Ebitda--partially justifies a rerating of BHP's equity valuation over the past year, it says. "This is an excellent set of results for BHP," the bank says. While Jefferies thinks BHP's shares could gain further in the coming six months or so, it does expect company-specific tailwinds to subside. Volumes in Chile are now expected to decline, it says, adding that the increase in Ebitda from FY 2025 to FY 2026 was almost entirely due to the impact of higher prices. Jefferies reiterates a hold rating. It has a A$65.00 target on the stock. Shares are up 3.0% at A$64.09.
