Rio Tinto Annual Net Profit Falls 19%, Pares Dividend - WSJ https://t.co/xyF4tqRdpB

Rio Tinto reported its FY 23 earnings with a net income of $10.06 billion, falling short of the expected $11.15 billion. However, its underlying profit rose to $11.8 billion, slightly above the forecast of $11.66 billion, with an underlying EBITDA of $23.9 billion, marginally beating the $23.85 billion expectation. Despite meeting annual profit expectations, the company announced a 19% fall in annual net profit and reduced its dividend, attributing the decline to lower demand from China, its biggest customer. The underlying profit also saw a 12% decrease compared to previous figures.
