TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

As a leader of metal resources production, we reiterate RIO as a TOP PICK.  Management is optimistic that a commitment to aluminum smelter development in Australia is supportive for the company's plans.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired.  It trades at 9x earnings, under 2x book and supports a 20% ROE.  The robust dividend is backed by a payout ratio of 70% of cash flow.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $49) to $58 at this time, looking to achieve $82 -- upside potential of 32%.  Yield 6.2%  

(Analysts’ price target is $81.93)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's a play on the Chinese economy, which is not doing well.

COMMENT

Highly volatile in the past 3 years and has been sideways, long term. She sees 25% upside and the street ranks this a buy. Energy could do well, depending on the US election.

STRONG BUY

Is struggling given perceived weakness of China's economy. He's owned this a long time and won't sell it. RIO generates a lot of free cash, has a reasonable development pipeline, a great iron business and a good copper business. But traders may see near-term weakness given China's outlook.

other mines
BUY

Low-cost leader in the iron ore space, with copper assets and a nice distribution.

BUY
Upgraded today

It's trading as if iron ore were at $60, so the stock is overly discounted. Pays a huge 7.2% dividend, which pays you a lot alone. Upside is ahead.

BUY

Mainly iron ore, but also copper. Good assets in a lower cost jurisdiction. World-class. Variable dividend based on earnings. Tons of free cashflow. Looking to expand copper, a big growth driver for the next decade. Still cheap. Lots of years left for good returns in the sector.

other mines
BUY

A UK company, leveraged to the China reopening and shares are cheap.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 09/22, Down 2%)

It has pulled back recently so you could buy it here. He likes the dividend and its participation in commodity prices. We are in a commodity cycle.

other mines
BUY
Followed the trend of buying back shares, increasing dividend, divesting non-core assets. These companies are in much better shape financially than ever before. Capex discipline. Will benefit from China coming back online. Cheap multiple.
other mines
BUY
Remains in an uptrend, testing the downtrend. If it can break out above that, you've really got blue skies. Looks like it's trying to start another commodity super-cycle.
other mines
WAIT
RIO vs. BHP Both really well run and focused. Trimming portfolios and becoming more efficient. Leans toward BHP, but RIO is good as well. Cautious on the space right now, potential for a recession, and we don't know how deep. Both would get hit in a recession. Steer clear right now, look for something more defensive.
other mines
DON'T BUY
A great company, but it needs commodity inflation to come back.
other mines
DON'T BUY
A tough call. Minerals may have bottomed, though it's a great company. Doesn't know if the dividend is safe or not.
