Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • First-half 2026 EBITDA rose 28% to $14.8 billion, driven by copper and prices.
  • Rio Tinto started commissioning Quebec's $1.5 billion smelter expansion in May 2026.
  • Sandvik autonomous drilling trials and Chinese equipment purchases lower costs across iron ore operations.

What critics are saying

  • Nemaska slowed construction in March 2026; contractor headcount was cut, delaying lithium cash flow.
  • IOC completed staff reductions in August 2026, signaling weak Labrador operations and cost pressure.
  • Lithium execution now hinges on 2028 production; another delay would undermine Arcadium's thesis.

What makes Rio Tinto unique

  • Rio Tinto dominates iron ore with automated Pilbara mines and Perth remote operations.
  • Its Quebec lithium platform spans Nemaska, Whabouchi, and Galaxy, building vertical integration.
  • AP60 low-carbon aluminium and ELYSIS give Rio Tinto premium decarbonized metal optionality.

Rio Tinto chair: Geopolitical risk must move beyond the 'after-dinner speaker

Dominic Barton, strategic counsellor to Eurasia Group and chair of Rio Tinto, says companies must integrate geopolitical risk into core business operations rather than treating it as a side concern. Speaking after US President Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on some Canadian goods, Barton noted the breakdown of assumptions about international institutions and free trade. Barton, a former McKinsey leader and Canadian ambassador to China, argues CEOs need to spend more time understanding foreign governments. He says geopolitics should inform decisions about balance sheets, debt levels, supply chain security, and data management. Rio Tinto has adjusted its approach to China, significantly increasing purchases of Chinese equipment. "It's more expensive than some of the traditional Western suppliers. But it's better," Barton said.
