Feb 17, 2026 (The Australian - ABIX via COMTEX) --
BHP has posted a 2025-26 interim profit of $US5.64bn ($7.9bn), which is 28 per cent higher than previously; revenue increased by 11 per cent to $US27.9bn ($39.5bn). Copper was a key driver of BHP's half-year result, with the energy transition metal exceeding earnings from iron ore for the first time; copper accounted for 51 per cent of BHP's underlying EBITDA of $US15.5bn, and CEO Mike Henry has described the earnings shift as a 'milestone'. Meanwhile, Henry has expressed concern about the growing push to reunionise the Pilbara in the wake of industrial relations reforms during the federal government's first term in office; he notes that there has been a big increase in unions' right-of-entry requests at its iron ore mines..
