BHP share price climbs again: copper-led results, dividend dates and iron ore risks drive the next move
BHP shares closed up 1.9% at A$53.28 on Thursday after reporting a half-year profit beat, with copper now making up 51% of underlying EBITDA. RBC raised its target price to A$55 but kept a neutral rating, citing high capex and weaker iron ore outlook. BHP set an interim dividend at 73 cents a share. Traders are watching copper prices, China signals, and the dividend timetable ahead of the next session.
