The brief

Rio Tinto digs up and processes the raw materials that make modern life possible—primarily iron ore (the key ingredient in steel), aluminum, copper, and lithium [Yahoo Finance]. They operate massive mines in Australia and refineries worldwide, shipping these materials to manufacturers who turn them into everything from buildings to batteries [Yahoo Finance].

Rio Tinto is one of the world's largest mining companies, operating iron ore mines in Australia, aluminum smelters, and copper operations globally [Yahoo Finance]. The company just shipped its 8 billionth tonne of iron ore from its flagship Pilbara region after 60 years of continuous production [Yahoo Finance]. With strong margins (27% operating margin), low debt (0.8x net debt/EBITDA), and a nearly 4% dividend yield, Rio Tinto appears financially healthy [Yahoo Finance].

Rio Tinto is in excellent financial shape with strong profitability, manageable debt, and consistent cash generation.
