Analysts have a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" with an average target price of $73.00, indicating positive sentiment and potential upside for investors. Rio Tinto Group operates in multiple segments, including Iron Ore, Aluminium, and Copper, providing diversification and reducing reliance on any single commodity. Rio Tinto Group Bear Case Investors should be bearish about investing in Rio Tinto Group for these reasons: Shares of Rio Tinto Group have recently experienced a decline of 1.5%, which may indicate short-term volatility and investor uncertainty. Jefferies Financial Group recently lowered their price target from $83.00 to $73.00, which could signal a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term performance.
