Rio Tinto Strategy to Give Long-Run Earnings a Boost; Near-Term Estimates Under Pressure -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-05 12:05

0405 GMT - Rio Tinto's first investor briefing under new CEO Simon Trott broadly met market expectations, according to Barclays analysts. They say Trott's plans to make Rio "simpler" and "sharper" could result in 2030 Ebitda being roughly US$5 billion higher than Barclays has forecast, and about US$7 billion higher than market consensus. That said, "market expectations were arguably elevated in the run-in" to the briefing and "softer production guidance for 2026 versus consensus is likely to see near-term consensus estimates decline," the analysts say in a note to clients. Rio is down 1.4% in Sydney at A$138.62. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
