BHP Group's Latest Metrics: A$311.7B Market Cap and a 3.19% Forward Yield

BHP Group Share Snapshot: Range, Yield and Valuation

BHP Group Limited, the Melbourne-based resources company, was showing an intraday quote range of A$60.87 to A$61.48, according to ASX data retrieved on 15 August 2026. That translates into an intraday market capitalisation of A$311.7 billion, keeping BHP among the largest listed mining groups on the Australian exchange.

The forward dividend is A$1.96 per share, which implies a forward yield of 3.19%. Trailing total returns are calculated as of 14 August 2026, with the S&P/ASX 200 index used as the benchmark.

BHP's operating structure is built around Copper, Iron Ore and Coal segments, but its commodity exposure is broader than that. The company also mines uranium, gold, zinc, lead, molybdenum, silver, cobalt and metallurgical and energy coal, while maintaining nickel mining, smelting and refining operations and potash development. It also provides services such as towing, freight, marketing and trading, finance and administration. The company was founded in 1851 and is headquartered in Melbourne.

What the Numbers Reveal About BHP's Diversified Operations

How the Valuation Data Lines Up

The snapshot shows an enterprise value to EBITDA ratio of 8.08 and a trailing return on equity of 24.71%. These are descriptive metrics rather than forecasts: EV/EBITDA relates the company's debt-adjusted valuation to earnings, while trailing ROE shows profitability on shareholder equity over the past twelve months. A PEG ratio is not quoted, so the data does not offer a forward-looking growth comparison.

What the Segment Mix Suggests

The three main segments — copper, iron ore and coal — are complemented by a wider mineral portfolio that includes uranium, gold, zinc, lead, molybdenum, silver, cobalt and nickel, plus potash development. That breadth means BHP's earnings are linked to multiple commodity prices rather than a single market, but the benefit depends on how individual commodities perform. The inclusion of freight, marketing and trading services adds a further set of revenue streams beyond mining.
