0801 GMT - Rio Tinto's broadly in-line annual result "may not be good enough for the market after a strong result from BHP," Morgan Stanley analyst Rahul Anand says in a note. He highlights revenue and dividend as a beat versus market expectations, while underlying profit and free cash flow fall short. MS has an equal-weight rating and a A$140.00 target on Rio's Australia-listed stock. Rio ended 2.0% higher in Sydney at A$168.55, before the miner released its 2025 results.
