RIO Tinto Ltd (ASX: RIO) $177.36

RIO has spent much of 2026 in BHP’s shadow, gaining 21% compared with BHP’s impressive 39%, although both are clearly enjoying stellar years. Much like BHP around the $65 area, RIO is starting to look a little tired around $180, and some near-term consolidation, or a pullback, wouldn’t surprise us. Unlike its larger peer, RIO is still primarily an iron ore miner; hence, further stimulus from Beijing would be a positive lever, but hoping on such moves is akin to buying a stock hoping for a takeover.

RIO Tinto Ltd (ASX: RIO) $165.47

RIO has noticeably underperformed BHP in 2026, not helped by its recent 20% pullback. Yesterday the diversified miner delivered its Q2 production report, which was initially regarded as neutral. However, weaker copper production appears to have caught traders' attention overnight - RIO shares slipped 2.3% in UK trade, implying another session in BHP's shadow today.

RIO Tinto Ltd (RIO) $144.41

In February, Rio reported a broadly in-line FY25 result, with earnings essentially flat as strength in copper and aluminium was offset by ongoing weakness in iron ore, driven by China’s soft property market. Revenue and earnings came in slightly ahead of expectations, while free cash flow was weaker year-on-year. Guidance was maintained, pointing to steady operational performance.

RIO Tinto Ltd (RIO) $168.55

Rio Tinto reported FY25 results overnight,  posting a basically flat full-year profit as improvements in copper and aluminium failed to offset the impact of China’s sputtering economy and ongoing property sector weakness on its key iron ore unit. The world’s second-largest miner reported underlying earnings that were broadly in line with expectations and maintained guidance.
