Axiom initiated its coverage on Rio Tinto
RIO with a Sell rating and a price target of $33.
Axiom commented, "With iron ore comprising 72% of RIO's '11 EBITDA, and our belief that the steel/iron ore bubble in the Chinese market is in the process of deflating, buoyed by a structural oversupply in RIO's Aluminum business (20% of sales), we see outsized downward risk to RIO's earnings trajectory – we do not believe this dynamic is well understood by investors, and thus see a market dislocation/shorting opportunity."
Rio Tinto closed at $46.17 on Friday.
