BHP Group Ltd has maintained a 'sell' rating from Panmure Liberum analysts after cutting its interim dividend due to lower first-half profits. The dividend was reduced by US$0.22 to US$0.50, marking an eight-year low.
The reduction in dividend and the reiteration of a 'sell' rating by analysts are negative indicators for BHP's stock price. The dividend cut reflects lower profits and growing debt concerns, which are likely to impact investor sentiment negatively.
