Aggressive Prediction:
- Current EPS: 2.33
- Estimated Future EPS: 33 (As seen from historical Equity Growth)
- Future P/E: 13 (As seen from average of historical P/E)
Conservative Predicton:
- Current EPS: 2.33
- Estimated Future EPS: 25.4 (Future earning growth estimate of RIO from money.msn.com on 03/03/08. Personally I don't like this number too much because it's an estimate growth or earning, not equity)
- Future P/E: 12.26
Following Japan's Nippon Steel and South Korea's Posco (NYSE: PKX), China's top steel producer Baosteel Group has agreed to a 65% increase in iron ore price in 2008 with Vale. Read more here at CNNmoney. From these deals we can expect an increase in earning from the following quarters to come. We must take note that the entire mining sector has been down for the last couple of days, so we probably won't see the 65% reflected until a few quarters later.
Now let's take a look at some charts:
- The market price and simple moving average line are almost about to cross, a sign to get out of the market.
- MACD also shows a bearish sign, even though the indicator is still above the 0 critical level.
- Stochastic brings more attention to a possible bearish market, %K line has crossed under the %D line. Furthermore, it has recently crossed over the 80% point, indicating that the stock is steering away from its overbought status
