Investopedia: Rio Tinto Too Iron-Heavy, But Undervalued

Stocks, in general, seem to be doing well as investors feel more comfortable not only with the sovereign debt problems of Europe, but the overall global growth outlook for 2012. Curiously, mining stocks don't seem to be sucking up as much of the love as their leverage to global growth might suggest they should. With that in mind, investors who believe in a strong 2012 may want to consider adding Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) at these levels. (For more, see Earning Forecasts: A Primer.)

Earlier in February 2012, Rio Tinto announced mostly solid results for the 2011 fiscal year. Full-year revenue rose about 7%, while underlying EBTIDA climbed about 10%. Although investors were a little disappointed that the company did not announce an increased share repurchase program, the company did boost the dividend by about one-third.
