Rio Tinto's shares rose 5% after reporting a 47% increase in underlying profit to $6.7 billion for the first half of 2026, driven by an 84% surge in copper earnings which now make up 36% of group profits. The company declared an interim dividend of $2.11 per share, beating market expectations, supported by robust free cash flow of $3.8 billion, well above forecasts. Iron ore remains the largest earnings contributor despite a slight decline. This strong performance highlights Rio Tinto's successful shift towards copper and positions it well for future growth amid rising demand for the metal.
