BHP reports record copper earnings, $2.40 dividend; CEO Craig targets disciplined growth and technology-driven performance

BHP delivered strong FY2026 operational and financial results with underlying EBITDA of $33 billion and attributable profit up 30% to $13 billion, driven by record production at Western Australia Iron Ore and Olympic Dam's highest copper output in 20+ years. Copper contributed over half of earnings for the first time as BHP cemented its position as the world's largest copper producer. New CEO Brandon Craig identified three priorities: strengthening safety and foundational relationships, accelerating performance through technology integration with the BHP Operating System, and delivering disciplined growth—including potash production from Jansen mid-2027 and a portfolio targeting 3–4% compound annual production growth through 2035. The Board approved FY2026 dividends of $2.40 AUD per share ($8.7 billion total), the highest in four years, signaling confidence in near-term cash generation and future growth execution.
