Why Barclays Prefers BHP Billiton over Rio Tinto

Why Barclays Prefers BHP Billiton over Rio Tinto

Of the 17 analysts covering BHP Billiton (BHP), 53% recommend “buy,” 41% recommend “hold,” and 6% recommend “sell.” Their consensus target price for BHP is $33.20, which implies a 1% downside based on its current market price. Unlike BHP, peers (XME) Vale (VALE), Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF), and Freeport-McMoran (FCX) have an upside potential based on their target prices.
