BHP is undervalued at 14x forward PE with a 5% dividend, offering solid returns even without divestment of iron ore and coal. A potential spin-off of iron ore and coal could unlock significant shareholder value, shifting BHP's focus to copper and potash for future growth. Copper demand is set to rise, and BHP's ramp-up in copper production and new discoveries like Vicuña position it well for long-term upside.
The world's No. 1 miner by market value reported a 10% rise in third-quarter copper output due to higher volumes from the giant Escondida mine, and flat iron-ore output.
When it comes to connecting the dots across the financial markets, investors need to remember that price action in one area typically connects to the rest of the broader machine, where watching unusual moves in different asset classes can present some of the best opportunities elsewhere. Today, that is where the new all-time high price set by copper in the commodity markets will bring a big profit potential in the coming months for copper mining stocks.
