According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, RIO is a Outperform.
Rio Tinto’s stock score is driven by strong technical indicators and a solid valuation, supported by a robust dividend yield. Financial performance is stable, with strong profitability and a solid balance sheet, though revenue growth and cash flow conversion present challenges. The absence of earnings call and corporate events data did not impact the score.
