BHP in ‘good shape’ to act if coronavirus disruption brings M&A openings

BHP Group is in good shape to take action should supply chain disruption caused by the global coronavirus epidemic trigger acquisition opportunities, the global miner’s chairperson Ken MacKenzie said on Tuesday.

"On balance, the business is in very good shape," MacKenzie said, speaking at the Australian Financial Review summit in Sydney.

"I’m not sure if there will be any opportunities that will come from this but if there are, we are actually in a position to act."
