Summary

The company has solid fundamentals for a short-term investment strategy.

Strengths

Margins returned by the company are among the highest on the stock exchange list. Its core activity clears big profits.

Thanks to a sound financial situation, the firm has significant leeway for investment.

This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.

Sales forecast by analysts have been recently revised upwards.

Over the past year, analysts have regularly revised upwards their sales forecast for the company.

For the past twelve months, EPS forecast has been revised upwards.

For the last twelve months, analysts have been gradually revising upwards their EPS forecast for the upcoming fiscal year.

Within the weekly time frame the stock shows a bullish technical configuration above the support level at 1743 GBp


Weaknesses

The share is close to its long-term resistance in weekly data. Therefore, the potential should be limited.

However, a further bullish movement when crossing this resistance will be a positive signal.

The stock is close to a major daily resistance at GBp 2049, which should be gotten rid of so as to gain new appreciation potential.

As estimated by analysts, this group is among those businesses with the lowest growth prospects.

Sales estimates for the next fiscal years vary from one analyst to another. This clearly highlights a lack of visibility into the company's future activity.

The company's earnings releases usually do not meet expectations.

The company's enterprise value to sales, at 2.48 times its current sales, is high.

For the past seven days, analysts have been lowering their EPS expectations for the company.

BHP to introduce low emissions LNG freight
BHP has released a bulk carrier tender for LNG-fuelled transport for up to 27Mt of its iron ore, which the company said is a world first
BHP to introduce low emissions LNG freight

According to Rashpal Bhatti, BHP is seeking potential partners who share the company's ambition of lowering emissions to the maritime supply chain

Introducing LNG-fuelled ships into BHP's maritime supply chain will eliminate nitrogen oxide NOx) and sulphur oxide (SOx) emissions and significantly reduce CO2 emissions along the busiest bulk transport route globally.

Rashpal Bhatti, vice president, maritime and supply chain excellence at BHP said emissions resulting from the transportation and distribution of BHP's products represent a material source of its value chain emissions.

He said: "We recognise we have a stewardship role, working with our customers, suppliers and others to influence emissions reductions across the full life cycle of our products.

"Through this tender, we are seeking potential partners who share our ambition of lowering emissions to the maritime supply chain."

The tender is open to a select group of industry leaders, from ship owners, banks and LNG fuel network providers. As well as LNG-fuelled transport for up to 10% of its iron ore, the tender seeks other innovative solutions that can lower greenhouse gas emissions and increase productivity from BHP's freight requirements.

"We are fully supportive of the International Maritime Organisation's (IMO) decision to impose lower limits on sulphur levels in marine fuels," Bhatti commented.

"While LNG may not be the sustainable homogenous fuel of choice for a zero-carbon future, we are not prepared to wait for a 100% compliant solution if we know that, together with our partners, we can make significant progress now."

He added: "This new tender adds to the work BHP is doing with customers, suppliers and parties along our value chain to influence emissions reductions from the transport and use of our products."

As well as investments in emerging technologies, BHP stated that it sets greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for its operations, builds the resilience of its operations and communities to the physical impacts of climate change and works across sectors to strengthen the global policy and market response.

Here it is! 'Down at Papa Joes's' by the Dixiebelles. Trip down memory lane, folks.



Must dash.

[poikka] 13/7/2019 16:22

Papa Joe's R.I.P. Used to be a song about it, even, by the Dixie Bells if my memory serves me right.

What's the world come to!

Aha, so river levels already high, not so good. Fingers crossed for the folk of New Orleans and thereabouts.

In 1964, I was in New Orleans for a few days that covered the 4th July. Was quite an experience. Filled up on 10 cent beer at the dockside bars before heading into town and Papa Joe's etc.

Had enough of hurricanes by that time, having taken a pasting from Flora the previous October, and two lesser TRSs not long after. Such is life.

Taking the safety of their personnel seriously, rather goes without saying these days - thankfully.

In any case, I don't see this as affecting the share price at all, nor the price of oil - unless there's massive long-term disruption on shore from flooding. It's a slow moving storm, so any rainfall's going to be prolonged.

I understand that there are storm surge warnings out as no-one wants to risk harm to anyone; I'm merely looking at this from a shareholders point of view. I wouldn't have thought that a surface pressure of 993 would have created a storm surge.

But then I'm not answerable to anybody, and there we have it.


yep very true, answerable they are

monday monday should clarify things

perhaps they are also taking the safety of their persnnel seriously
and no hurry to pump oil into a perhaps falling price market

[poikka] 13/7/2019 12:43

As I've posted before, this seems to be an over-reaction. Barry's not a big storm, but maybe the rigs are taking account of possible constraints onshore as a result of flooding.
