# Rio Tinto Group share price today (Rio Tinto Group, RIO) > Rio Tinto Group's share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer. RIO · Materials · Other Industrial Metals & Mining · data as of 3 November 2026. Page: https://www.sectoralpha.in/us/stocks/rio Sector Alpha also publishes a daily newsletter that explains one Indian stock at a time: https://newsletter.sectoralpha.in/?utm_source=sectoralpha&utm_medium=ai_text&utm_campaign=llms ## Key numbers - Business trend: Getting better, from fewer quarters than usual - Price: $81.62 (+13.8% in a year) - P/E: 10.9×, over 3.3 years - Revenue (Jun 2026): $31.0 B (+15.5% on a year ago) - Profit (Jun 2026): $6.7 B (+47.2% on a year ago) - Operating margin: 28.0% (+2.9 points on a year ago) - ROE: 15%, FY25 - ROIC: 14.6%, against a 7.2% cost of capital: +7.4 points The main question: the share price moved +13.8% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −14.0%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Rio Tinto Group share price today? Rio Tinto Group's share price was $81.62 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 7 weeks. That is 15.3% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $69 and $106, and at that close it sat 33% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 4 weeks running. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +158% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 9 October 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Rio Tinto Group pay? Rio Tinto Group paid $8.38 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $2.11 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $81.62 that is a yield of 10.27%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Rio Tinto Group on? Rio Tinto Group is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Rio Tinto Group profitable? Rio Tinto Group earned $6.7 B of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +47.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $10.0 B. Over 4 years profit has grown −17.1% a year on average. That is 21.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $5.8 B. For the full year, FY25 profit was $10.0 B (−13.7% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +15.5% on a year earlier and the margin moved +2.9 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +9.1% and revenue +7.1%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace. ## How much revenue does Rio Tinto Group make, and is it growing? Rio Tinto Group reported $31.0 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +15.5% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown −2.4% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $57.6 B. FY25 revenue was $57.6 B, +7.4% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +7.1% on average, against −2.4% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. ## How much of every $100 of sales does Rio Tinto Group keep? Rio Tinto Group's operating margin was 28.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 2.9 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Over the last four quarters it has moved −0.8 percentage points. Across 5 years it has been between 25.2% and 46.4%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.8 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.6 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Rio Tinto Group's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 151% of Rio Tinto Group's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $16.8 B of operating cash against $10.0 B of profit. After $12.3 B of spending on assets, $4.5 B was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Rio Tinto Group's cash go? Rio Tinto Group does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $29.0 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 16.8% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $29.0 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Rio Tinto Group's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Rio Tinto Group's P/E is 10.9×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −14.0% while the price moved +13.8%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +7.2% a year; about −5.4% a year came from earnings growth and about +12.6 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Rio Tinto Group business getting better or worse? Rio Tinto Group's business is getting better. Profit growth hit its low 7 quarters ago at −47.2% and has recovered to +47.2% (from single-quarter figures), with ROCE falling at 28.4%. This is based on 8 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: a lasting rise from a low is what this page is built to show. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does Rio Tinto Group earn on its capital? Rio Tinto Group earned a ROE of 15% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 7.4 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 17.3% net margin and 0.45× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 17.3% net margin × 0.45× asset turnover × 1.91× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 14.9% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 14.6% − 7.2% = +7.4 percentage points. The 7.2% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. ## Does Rio Tinto Group have too much debt? Rio Tinto Group has total debt of $22.9 B against shareholder equity of $71.7 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.32× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.24 in FY21 to 0.35 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Rio Tinto Group shareholding pattern? 0.7% of Rio Tinto Group's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so very few traders are betting against this stock. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 4.9 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Rio Tinto Group from balance-sheet trouble? For Rio Tinto Group, the Z-score is 2.79. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.79 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does Rio Tinto Group rank in its industry? 61.0 out of 100, rank 5 of 29 in Other Industrial Metals & Mining, with 51% of the evidence available. Rio Tinto Group scores 61.0 out of 100 against the 29 companies it is compared with in Other Industrial Metals & Mining, ranking 5. Some evidence is missing, so the score is pulled toward the middle on purpose. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 18.6 + 18.1 + 9.5 + 14.8 = 61. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Rio Tinto Group compared with? Rio Tinto Group ranks 5 of 29 Other Industrial Metals & Mining companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 61.0 out of 100. 1.

They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

The main question: the share price moved +13.8% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −14.0%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple.
