BHP Group (ASX:BHP), the world's largest miner, divides fund managers over valuation as copper's role grows. In September 2026, ClearBridge said it likes BHP's strategic direction, particularly copper exposure, but stayed underweight while the valuation looked expensive. Regal expects BHP to reach $100 within five years, bullish on copper as AI-driven capital spending grows, while Australian Eagle holds BHP as its largest position but does not see it as cheap. Ten Cap trimmed after a 10% August rise, and Cadence is building a position after a 10% pullback from its record high. BHP operates in the Materials sector within the Metals and Mining industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 118 comments from 43 fund managers, including ClearBridge, Regal, Australian Eagle, Ten Cap and Cadence. Founded in 1885 and headquartered in Melbourne, BHP produces iron ore, copper and metallurgical coal and is developing the Jansen potash project in Canada.

Managers highlight growing copper exposure driven by AI and electrification demand, strategic direction and the potential for long-term share price growth, according to Regal and ClearBridge, with Cadence buying the recent dip.
ClearBridge, Australian Eagle and Ten Cap see the valuation as full, limiting upside, and iron ore price exposure remains a key earnings risk.
