Rio Tinto is the world's lowest-cost iron ore miner, but boomtime investment destroyed returns.

We raise our fair value estimate for no-moat-rated Rio Tinto to AUD 46 per share from AUD 44 per share. Approximately half of the increase reflects the recent fall in the AUD/USD exchange rate to 0.76, with the remainder reflecting several small assumption changes following Rio Tinto’s 2017 investor day. Assumption changes include lower near-term capital expenditure, slightly higher titanium dioxide feedstock volumes, and minor improvements to our cost-reduction assumptions.
