An announcement from Rio Tinto Limited ( (AU:RIO) ) is now available.
On 21 January 2026, Rio Tinto reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 production results, highlighting an 8% year-on-year increase in copper-equivalent output and a 5% rise in shipments, driven by record bauxite production, expanding lithium operations and strong copper growth from the fully ramped Oyu Tolgoi underground mine. The group posted record quarterly iron ore production and shipments in the Pilbara after recovering from earlier weather disruptions, marked first shipments from its Simandou project, and delivered solid aluminium performance, while reiterating unchanged 2026 production guidance and noting reduced exploration and evaluation expense as spending on the Rincon lithium project was capitalised. Management framed the results as evidence that its ‘stronger, sharper, simpler’ operating model and portfolio of growth projects are improving operational excellence and reinforcing Rio Tinto’s competitive position in key commodities, even as it pauses guidance for some smaller product lines amid ongoing strategic reviews and navigates mixed market conditions across iron ore, copper, aluminium, lithium and titanium dioxide.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:RIO) stock is a Buy with a A$169.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Rio Tinto Limited stock, see the AU:RIO Stock Forecast page.
