BHP Group: a FTSE dividend share for your portfolio? by Ben Hobson:

Some of the very best UK-listed companies can be found on the FTSE 350. These companies have often been paying dividends for a very long time, making them prime candidates for a tax-efficient ISA account.

UK stocks paid out an eye-watering £100 billion in dividends last year, and the bulk of that cash came from the biggest and best-known companies in the FTSE 350 - including BHP (LON:BHP).

There are various ways of finding blue chip dividends, but here is a strategy with some basic rules to put you on the right path to finding the best dividend stocks in the FTSE 350. Let’s look at the Bhp dividend as an example of how it works.

Four rules for finding dividend share:

1. High (but not excessive) dividend yield

Yield tells you how much a company pays out in dividends each year as a proportion of its equity. High yields are obviously appealing, but caution is needed. A high yield can be the market's way of saying it is expecting a dividend cut, so it pays to be wary of excessive yields.

BHP has an eye-catching dividend yield of 5.65%.

2. Safety in size

Part of the appeal of FTSE 350 dividend stocks is their financial strength. Large size and scale means that their vast cashflows tend to be predictable. It gives them the resilience to maintain their dividends through the economic cycle. And while large companies aren’t immune from making dividend cuts, their financial strength is an appealing safety factor for income investors.

BHP is a balanced, large cap in the Integrated Mining industry and has a market cap of £89,929m

3. Dividend growth

Another important marker for income investors is a track record of dividend growth. Progressive dividend growth can be a pointer to payout policies that are being handled carefully by management. Rather than aggressively dishing out earnings, dividend growth companies tend to have more modest yields, but are better at sustaining their payouts.

BHP has increased its dividend payout 7 times over the past 10 years.

4. Dividend cover

Attractively high yields obviously turn heads - but it’s important to know that a dividend is affordable. Dividend cover is a go-to measure of a company's net income over the dividend paid to shareholders. It’s calculated as earnings per share divided by the dividend per share and helps to indicate how sustainable a dividend is.

Dividend cover of less than 1x suggests that the company can’t fund the payout from its current year earnings.

BHP has a dividend cover of 1.37.

Next steps:

With these four dividend rules, you can track down high yield shares with a record of growth and safety. On this basis, Bhp could be worth a closer look.

The FTSE 100 is one of the world's most international indices, with 70 per cent of its profits generated overseas. And when the going gets tough in the UK, investors gravitate to some of the biggest and most international stocks in the index, such as BP and Shell.

Both shares fell in the run-up to the Election and again following the result. Why? Because the more sterling rises, the more these businesses suffer when they bring the cash home. The stocks will probably fall further if sterling continues to appreciate against the dollar. Other shares may suffer too, such as miners Rio Tinto and BHP.

Canny investors put their eggs in lots of baskets and that rule applies as much today as ever. The stock market is in bullish mode but it never hurts to invest in something a little different to protect against any obstacles on the road.

Gold is the ideal hedge, particularly for investors with a long-term horizon, including those keen to pass their assets down to their children and grandchildren.

At £1,102 a troy ounce, gold is not cheap. But it should reward patient investors – and put sparkle in their portfolios.

MELBOURNE, Australia--BHP Group's (BHP) chief transformation officer will leave the company in 2020, the second senior executive to step down from the global resources company in recent days.

BHP said Jonathan Price will oversee the transition of the transformation programs to the company's assets and functions that are responsible for them during the first half of next year, after which he will leave the company and move back to the U.K. with his family, according to an emailed statement Friday.

"We created the transformation office to accelerate change at BHP and bring focus to our activity and our processes on value creation," outgoing Chief Executive Andrew Mackenzie said. "Transformation will now become a core accountability of every leader within BHP and will be accelerated through their delivery plans."

Over the last 18 months, the transformation office at BHP focused on areas including culture and innovation.

BHP on Monday said Chief Technology Officer Diane Jurgens will leave BHP in early 2020 to move back to the U.S. to be closer to her family. Ms. Jurgens joined the British-Australian mining company in 2015.

Last month, BHP named company veteran Mike Henry as its next CEO, taking over from Mr. Mackenzie at start of the new year.

Set against that is:

"China's exports fell in November as shipments to the US slowed sharply, adding to concerns about the effects of the two nations' trade war.

November exports from the world's second largest economy fell 1.1% from a year earlier, the fourth straight fall.

Exports to the US were down 23%, the worst such result since February and the twelfth monthly decline in a row."

The US has found suppliers outside of China. Interesting to see how this develops with regard to trade talks, China domestic stimulus and demand for steel and copper.
