BHP (US0886061086) stock was trading at EUR 75.25 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CEST, up 0.67 percent from the prior close of EUR 74.75. The company enters its next shareholder checkpoint after reporting FY2026 attributable profit of USD 9.8 billion, versus USD 9.0 billion in FY2025.

Profit and dividends rise

According to StockTitan, BHP reported FY2026 underlying EPS of USD 2.60, compared with USD 2.00 in FY2025. The same filing reports total FY2026 dividends of USD 1.72 per share, up from USD 1.10 in the prior fiscal year.

The payout totaled USD 8.7 billion and represented 66 percent of underlying attributable profit. That combination gives the stock a direct income angle, while the profit comparison shows that earnings growth remained positive through the year ended June 30, 2026.

Copper changes the earnings mix

BHP's FY2026 notice says copper contributed more than half of underlying EBITDA for the first time. The shift matters because it gives the group greater exposure to copper demand while iron ore remains a major operating pillar.

The company also says Western Australia Iron Ore remained the lowest-cost major iron ore producer globally for the seventh consecutive year. Jansen Stage 1 was 84 percent complete, with first potash production targeted for mid-2027, according to BHP's FY2026 shareholder materials.

AGM sets the next checkpoint

According to StockTitan, BHP's AGM is scheduled for October 22, 2026 in Sydney. Shareholders will vote on proposed equity awards for CEO Brandon Craig, including 116,353 long-term incentive rights with a stated face value of USD 3.8 million.

The proposed awards introduce a governance and potential dilution checkpoint alongside the company's operating performance. The structure links vesting to service and relative total shareholder return, keeping capital allocation and execution central to the shareholder debate.
