With a short percentage of shares outstanding of 0.72%, Rio Tinto Group\u00a0(NYSE:RIO<\/a>)\u00a0is among the 9 Best Silver and Copper Stocks to Buy for the EV Transition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rio Tinto Group (NYSE: RIO) attracted renewed analyst support on May 26 when JPMorgan analyst Dominic O\u2019Kane raised the firm\u2019s price target on the mining giant to 8,280 GBp from 7,200 GBp while maintaining a Neutral rating. The increase reflects a more constructive outlook on the company\u2019s earnings potential and asset portfolio, particularly as demand for key industrial and energy-transition commodities remains resilient across global markets.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the month, on May 15, Deutsche Bank analyst Liam Fitzpatrick also increased his price target on Rio Tinto to 6,900 GBp from 6,200 GBp while maintaining a Hold rating. This further highlights improving sentiment toward the company and underscores confidence in its ability to navigate commodity market fluctuations while benefiting from long-term structural demand trends. Although both firms retained relatively cautious ratings, the upward revisions suggest expectations for stronger value creation than previously anticipated.<\/p>\n

Rio Tinto Group was founded in 1873 and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The company produces iron ore, copper, aluminum, lithium, and nickel. Many of these materials play a critical role in the global transition toward cleaner energy systems, electric vehicles, battery storage technologies, and modern infrastructure.<\/p>\n
