Winston Score History

The full picture

BHP Group is one of the largest mining companies in the world. It digs up natural resources like iron ore, copper, and coal from the ground and sells them to manufacturers, steel mills, and energy companies. Iron ore and copper are its two biggest products, and it operates massive mines mainly in Australia and South America.

BHP makes money by selling these raw materials at market prices, which means its revenue rises and falls with global commodity prices. The company generates billions in annual revenue and has a strong competitive position because its mines are large, low-cost, and hard to replicate. BHP has been expanding its copper business, betting that demand will grow as the world builds more electric vehicles and power grids — but falling commodity prices or a slowdown in China, its largest customer for iron ore, remain the biggest risks to its earnings.

Growth + cash flow

BHP Group Limited is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 19%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.

Share count broadly stable

+0.4% over 4y

The share count has stayed roughly flat over this period — little dilution or buyback activity.

Diluted shares outstanding: 2.54B (2022) → 2.54B (2026)
