Opinion on  BHP Billiton Ltd (BHP)     Sector: Basic Materials  >  Industry: Metal Mining
BHP will have to sweeten deal even more for Rio

Sr. Analyst

Short-term price target of $66 as market reacts to BHP having to sweeten Rio deal upwards from 3.4 shares.

Longer term I am bullish on BHP and iron-ore prices in general. When deal closes BHP will be supplying 1/3 of the world's iron and will be the biggest supplier of thermal coal, copper, aluminum and possibly uranium.


BHP:  This call was made on 02/06/08 @ $67.3
Rating:   Negative   $67.3 (02/06/08)
Closed:   04/25/2008 @ $82.59 (-22.72% in 79 days)
Target:   $66.00 (-1.93%) in < two weeks

If the deal closes, this one isnt in the bag yet, so investors should still be wary of the potential risk if the deal doesnt go though.
