The energy transition is placing a massive call on the metals and mining sector. Supply is lagging in expected demand and BHP, as the owner of low-cost mining assets, is positioned well for the trend.

BHP's share price has fallen 18% due to decreasing commodity prices, starting to make its 5.8% yield look attractive. In FY 2023, BHP achieved strong production records and is the lowest cost major iron ore producer globally who should be able to ride out the economic cycles. The company has had great cash flow characteristics over the past 5 years while still investing heavily for growth. A FCF analysis suggests yields around 8.3%.

BHP Keeps Mining Profits Across Economic Cycles

While recent iron ore spot prices have recovered, similarly boosting the Capesize TCE rates and BHP's stock valuations/prices, it remains to be seen how long this optimism may last. These are mostly attributed to China's lower portside inventory and expanded imports in August 2023, with forward contracts through June 2024 appearing to be promising. Then again, since the commodity comprised the majority of its top and bottom lines, it is unsurprising that BHP has pledged diversified efforts toward copper and nickel.
