BHP Group Ltd Stock (BHP): Share Price, Today’s Key News, Commodity Outlook, and Analyst Forecasts (18 Dec 2025)

BHP Group Ltd stock is doing what big miners often do when the world can’t decide whether it’s panicking or partying: it’s being tugged by commodities, policy, and a very real legal overhang—all at the same time.

  • Philip Morris International Shares Show 16% Undervaluation Despite Recent Rally
    January 24, 2026, 1:15 PM EST. Philip Morris International's stock surged 40.7% over the past year, closing recently at $173.02. Despite this strong share price growth, a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests the shares remain undervalued by 16.2%, with an estimated fair value of $206.50. The company is shifting focus towards smoke-free and reduced-risk products amid evolving tobacco industry regulations. Its Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio is also under review as investors gauge earnings relative to price. However, valuation scores show Philip Morris scores only 1 out of 6 for undervaluation, indicating some caution. The stock's appeal lies in its future cash flow potential, despite recent momentum already priced in.
