BHP stock (ISIN US0886061086) was trading at EUR 75.75 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 1:35 p.m. CEST. The key operational question is the restart of Escondida, BHP's major Chilean copper mine, after a fatal maintenance accident, as Yahoo Finance reported on September 28, 2026.

Escondida restart protects copper output

BHP has begun a progressive resumption of activities at Escondida following a temporary site-wide suspension. The mine produced 1.3 million tonnes of copper in fiscal year 2026, and BHP owns a 57.50 percent controlling interest, making the restart material for group production and cash flow.

The operational issue arrives as copper becomes more important to BHP's earnings mix. A phased restart reduces the duration of the disruption, but safety clearances and workforce readiness remain immediate execution factors.

FY2026 revenue rose 15.00 percent

BHP's fiscal year 2026 results, released on August 18, 2026, showed revenue of USD 58.8 billion, up 15.00 percent year over year. Underlying EBITDA rose 27.00 percent to USD 32.9 billion, while underlying profit increased 30.00 percent to USD 13.2 billion, according to Motley Fool Australia.

The comparison matters because the copper division has become a larger earnings engine while iron ore remains exposed to Chinese demand. BHP's FY2026 operating cash flow was USD 21.8 billion, compared with USD 18.7 billion in fiscal year 2025.

Erste trims FY2027 EPS forecast

Erste Group lowered its FY2027 EPS forecast to USD 5.02 from USD 5.10, below the USD 5.06 consensus estimate. MarketBeat reported the estimate change on September 22, 2026, while its analyst roundup showed a Hold consensus and a USD 78.00 average price target.

BHP's next scheduled investor event is the operational review for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, listed for October 20, 2026, on BHP's investor center. That update should provide the next quantified read on production after the Escondida disruption.

BHP stock stays tied to copper execution

The BHP ADR last stood at USD 84.58 on the NYSE on September 28, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, within its USD 52.18 to USD 98.71 52-week range. BHP's market capitalization was USD 214.9 billion on that date, while the Lang & Schwarz reference price was EUR 75.75 on September 29, 2026 at 1:35 p.m. CEST.
