BHP is undervalued at 14x forward PE with a 5% dividend, offering solid returns even without divestment of iron ore and coal.

BHP Group Is Better Than Vale If You Really Want Mining Exposure
Vale's stock has declined significantly since my last writing and trades at a P/E ratio of only ~5x. Yet, I still maintain a bearish outlook and want to caution you against bottom-fishing attempts.

BHP Group: Long-Standing Preference For Rio Tinto, Neutral Rating Confirmed
We maintain a neutral rating on BHP Group due to balanced risk-reward, materialized Samarco settlement risks, and preference for Rio Tinto's cheaper valuation and organic growth. BHP's H1 2025 results showed a $2 billion sales decline, an 11% drop in EBITDA, and unchanged production guidance despite strong operational performance and lower unit costs. BHP's net debt is expected to rise to $15 billion, and its dividend payout will be trimmed by 50%. This is due to CAPEX plans and settlement costs.
