BHP Billiton, one of the largest diversified mining companies globally, has received generally favorable reviews from experts. Analysts highlight its strong positioning in iron ore and copper, noting the significant cash generation and resilience of its business model. With a yield around 3.20% to 4%, it provides attractive dividends while participating in long-term secular trends such as infrastructure development and electrification. Some experts express caution due to fluctuations in commodity demand and suggest buying opportunities below $50, while maintaining a hold or trim strategy above $70. The company's recent technical strength and stability in China’s markets further bolster its prospects.

It's delisting in London, so the stock has sold off, but it's now a great buying opportunity. (Analysts’ price target is $75.03)
The dividend is probably not as much of a worry as in the past. He prefers Teck Resources, or First Quantum.
