BHP Group: Long-Standing Preference For Rio Tinto, Neutral Rating Confirmed
BHP, RIO
Published: February 21, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

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.
