In Plato’s latest reporting season update, we cover everything you need to know about BHP’s (ASX: BHP) strong FY26 result. Earnings are up, driven by copper, and that has delivered the highest full-year dividend from the Big Australian in four years - a great outcome for a key holding in the Plato Australian Shares Income Fund.

I also discuss the results just out from JB Hi-Fi (ASX: JBH), Origin Energy (ASX: ORG) and Telstra (ASX: TLS).
