Jul 08

On July 8, Rio Tinto fell 3.01% in pre-market trading, trading at $88.5/share, with turnover of approximately $749,400. The decline comes as multiple investment banks issued target price cuts in quick succession ahead of the company's upcoming earnings report on July 29.

Macquarie lowered its target price for Rio Tinto by 4% to A$180 per share on the same day. This followed RBC Capital Markets cutting its target from 6,400 pence to 6,300 pence, and UBS trimming its target by 3.3% to A$177. Bank of America had previously downgraded Rio Tinto from Buy to Neutral, citing elevated valuation and rising macro risks.
