    0857 [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: UBS cuts EPS forecast on Rio Tinto (RIO) by 12%
    for 2004, primarily due to sale of Rio's 12% stake in FCX (and elimination of
    earnings) and from Grasberg following pit-wall slippage in 2003. "We estimate
    Rio will now report a loss of US$5 million from FCX and Grasberg, against our
    previous forecast of a profit of US$320 million," UBS tells clients in note.
    Raises EPS forecast for 2005 by 8%. Keeps Buy rating on Rio and price target of
    A$43.50 vs yesterday's close of A$35.48.
