LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rio Tinto today announces a number of Board changes. As we have previously reported, the size of the Board peaked at 14 Directors during a transitional period in which we retained the expertise and experience of longer-serving Directors as newer Directors familiarised themselves with the Group. Sam Laidlaw and Kaisa Hietala stepped down from the Board at the conclusion of the 2025 AGMs, and that transitional phase has now concluded with the following changes, all effect.

Analysts at Citi have gamed out a potential asset swap between Rio Tinto Ltd (LSE:RIO, ASX:RIO, OTC:RTNTF) and its major shareholder Chinalco, claiming such a deal could be "a positive turning point" for the miner's investment case. Rio is exploring ways to exchange the Chinese state-owned group's $12.5 billion holding, Citi said, citing a report by Reuters, with the American bank's London-based analysts arguing that an arrangement for Chinalco's 11% shareholding in Rio may ease longstanding structural and geopolitical frictions.

Rio Tinto (RIO) is positioned as a solid buy, leveraging major investments in copper, aluminum, and lithium for future growth. RIO's growth projects—Simandou (iron ore), Oyu Tolgoi (copper), AP60 (aluminum), and Arcadium (lithium)—are expected to drive earnings and capital appreciation. The stock offers a compelling over 5% dividend yield, with a manageable debt profile and strong capital allocation supporting shareholder returns.

Rio Tinto is exploring a potential asset-for-equity swap with Chinalco that would trim the Chinese investor's 11% stake, freeing up Rio to resume buybacks and pursue new strategic deals, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock's price.

JP Morgan has downgraded Glencore PLC (LSE:GLEN) to 'neutral' even as it keeps faith with the wider mining rally. The US bank says the sector still has room to run, but picking winners is becoming harder after a 22% surge since the start of August.
