BeStock Grade
Composite of 4 factors below, ranked against the 3741 U.S. stocks BeStock covers.
Cheaper than usual on its own 5-year P/E history scores higher.
Higher trailing yield than most of BeStock’s coverage scores higher.
Trading closer to its 52-week high than most peers scores higher.
3 analysts, consensus Hold.
How this is scored: each factor above is a 0–100 percentile rank against every other stock BeStock covers (or, for Wall Street, against the five-point Strong Buy–Sell scale). The overall grade is the plain average of whichever factors apply to this stock — no factor is weighted more than another. That average maps to a letter: A ≥ 85, B ≥ 70, C ≥ 50, D ≥ 30, otherwise F. Recomputed from the data on this page as prices and filings update — it describes where a stock ranks today, not a forecast, and not a BeStock recommendation to buy or sell.
BeStock Momentum
RIO is not currently one of the 10 holdings in BeStock Momentum, our rules-based momentum strategy.

Holdings can change any trading day, not just on a fixed schedule. Backtested performance, updated daily — not a guarantee of future results, and not a BeStock recommendation.
Price forecast
What Wall Street analysts and Morningstar's fair-value model expect for the stock
Wall Street’s average 12-month target is $88.25, 5.4% above today’s price, with a consensus rating of Hold. Morningstar’s fair value model puts the stock at $91.00, so shares trade 8.0% below that estimate. On earnings multiple, it sits in the 67th percentile of its own five-year valuation range (pricier than usual).
Figures are Wall Street analyst consensus and Morningstar’s independent fair-value model, sourced as noted above.
Rio Tinto: the business
Rio Tinto is a global miner of iron ore, aluminum and copper, with major operations in Australia and Canada.
What tends to move it. Iron ore and copper prices, Chinese demand and its lithium expansion drive results.
Where the case gets weaker. Rio Tinto's earnings depend heavily on Chinese demand for iron ore and copper staying firm, so a slowdown in Chinese construction or industrial activity would hit the largest part of its business directly. Its lithium expansion adds a newer growth avenue, but lithium prices have been volatile, and a weak pricing environment there would not offset softness in the core iron ore business.
