Fortescue Ltd reported a debt-to-equity ratio of 27.6% for fiscal 2024, alongside a return on equity of 30.2% and a five-year average dividend yield of 10.5%, according to a recent analysis by Rask Media. The Perth-based iron ore producer ships more than 190 million tonnes annually from its Pilbara operations. It has also expanded into copper and rare earths, with projects in Australia, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Kazakhstan.
The company's long-term strategy targets materials tied to the renewable energy shift, Rask Media noted. Fortescue's debt level is low relative to equity, and its ROE of 30.2% clears the 10% threshold Rask Media considers typical for a mature business. The dividend yield of 10.5% over five years appeals to income-focused investors.
