BHP stock (ISIN US0886061086) was trading at EUR 75.25 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 9:03 a.m. CEST, down 1.31 percent versus EUR 76.25, the prior close on October 7, 2026. On October 7, 2026, BHP agreed to sell its Kambalda Nickel Concentrator and related tenements and mineralisation rights to Gold Fields, according to BHP.

Kambalda sale sets a 2027 handover

The transaction covers the concentrator and a package of tenements and mineralisation rights in Western Australia. Completion is expected during 2027 and remains subject to regulatory approvals, according to BHP's October 7, 2026 release.

Reuters reported on October 7, 2026 that BHP had agreed to sell the Kambalda Nickel Concentrator and associated Western Australian assets to Johannesburg-listed Gold Fields. The financial terms were not disclosed in the report.

Nickel review extends beyond Kambalda

BHP suspended its Western Australia Nickel assets in July 2024 after global oversupply, and the company plans to review the remaining assets by February 2027. The review includes options such as divestment, continued suspension, restart or closure, making the Kambalda sale an initial step rather than a completed exit from the region.

Revenue gives the stock a wider base

BHP reported fiscal 2026 revenue of USD 58.8 billion, up 15.00 percent from the prior year, while underlying earnings increased 27.00 percent to USD 32.9 billion, according to The Globe and Mail. Copper supplied more than half of group earnings for the first time, according to the same fiscal 2026 coverage.

BHP's next scheduled operational review is October 20, 2026, for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, according to the company's financial calendar. The date gives investors the next company-specific checkpoint after the Kambalda decision.
