Interest Coverage=-1*Operating Income (Q: Jun. 2024 )/Interest Expense (Q: Jun. 2024 )
=-1*8218/-800
=10.27

The higher the ratio, the stronger the company's financial strength is.

Debt to Revenue Ratio=Total Debt (Q: Jun. 2024 ) / Revenue

Rio Tinto Business Description

Address
6 St James’s Square, London, GBR, SW1Y 4AD
Rio Tinto is a global diversified miner. Iron ore is the dominant commodity, with significantly lesser contributions from copper, aluminum, diamonds, gold, and industrial minerals. The 1995 merger of RTZ and CRA, via a dual-listed structure, created the present-day company. The two operate as a single business entity, with shareholders in each company having equivalent economic and voting rights. Major assets included the Pilbara iron ore operations, a 30% stake in the Escondida copper mine, 66%-ownership of the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia, the Weipa and Gove bauxite mines in Australia, and six hydro-powered aluminum smelters in Canada.
