Rio Tinto has experienced positive financial momentum and stock market performance in 2026. In August, the company’s shares rose above their 200-day moving average, reaching as high as GBX 7,594. This movement followed a Berenberg Bank upgrade from “hold” to “buy” with a price target of GBX 8,600.

Financial reporting for the first half of 2026 shows a 15% increase in revenue, totaling $31 billion, and a 28% rise in EBITDA to $4.8 billion. The company’s share price has increased by 13.47% since the beginning of the year. Despite these recent gains, historical data indicates a decline in annual profit compared to three years ago, falling from $21,115 million to $11,552 million in the most recent reported financial year. The firm’s current net debt is $4,941 million.
