Base case (60% probability): $61.50-$63.00
- Short-term operational disruptions are already priced in
- Technical indicators showing moderate bullish momentum

- Quick resolution of port facility issues
- Continued strength in iron ore prices
Bearish case (15% probability): $59.00-$61.50

RIO VS S&P500
Rio Tinto is one of the direct beneficiaries of China's continuing strong appetite for natural resources.
The company's operations are generally well run, large-scale, low-operating-cost assets. Mine life is generally long, and some assets, such as iron ore, have incremental expansion options.
Capital allocation has improved following the missteps of the China boom with management generally preferring to return cash to shareholders than to make material expansions or acquisitions.
