Analyst coverage of Fortescue Metals on Smartkarma by Sameer Taneja highlights a cautious stance with a bearish lean. In the report titled “Fortescue Metals (FMG AU): 8% Yield At Spot Price With Risks, Wait For Better Entry Point,” Taneja points out that Fortescue is trading at 9.6x PE on the current spot price of 130 USD/ton with a 7% dividend yield.
