Metal Mining

Freeport-McMoRan Inc. vs Rio Tinto Plc

WatchlistFCX / RIOPrices through Oct 22, 2026

Why these are rivals: #2 and #3 by market value ($112B vs $100B) in Nasdaq's "Metal Mining" industry; SEC SIC 1000 / 1000 (same major group).

Rivals, but right now the price gap does not have a measured habit of closing, so there is no paper idea, whatever the gap.

Historical simulation (a diagnostic, same rules)

No simulated trade through Oct 20, 2026: the pair rarely passed every test while 2 standard deviations apart. One simulated trade is still open (entered Aug 25, 2026).

Per $10,000 a leg. A replay on today's companies cannot prove an edge.
