BHP: downgraded by broker
(CercleFinance.com) - BHP shares are down nearly 1% in London on the back of a recommendation downgrade by Jefferies (from 'buy' to 'hold'), with a target price lowered by 9% to 2,550 pence, in light of the mining company's strong recent share performance.
The broker also cites a risk of BHP making a new bid for Anglo American after the end of the six-month restriction period at the end of November, and a risk of higher capital expenditure in the medium term.
