About: Vale is a large global miner and the world's largest producer of iron ore and pellets. In recent years the company has sold noncore assets such as its fertilizer, coal, and steel operations to concentrate on iron ore, nickel, and copper. Earnings are dominated by the bulk materials division, primarily iron ore and iron ore pellets. The base metals division is much smaller, consisting of nickel mines and smelters along with copper mines producing copper in concentrate. In 2024, Vale sold a minority 10% stake in energy transition metals, its base metals business, likely the first step in separating base metals and iron ore.

Vale: Betting On Buybacks And Relevant Upside

Vale's management provided key updates to analysts, reinforcing my investment thesis with fresh insights from the May 28 meeting. Supply side reforms in China and the potential for higher steel prices could significantly benefit Vale's iron ore business. Mine depletion is a critical, underappreciated factor, potentially offsetting new supply from the Simandou project and supporting iron ore prices.

More Than Iron - Vale's Strategic Pivot To Critical Metals

Vale is reinventing itself beyond iron ore, pivoting toward copper and nickel to align with global electrification and energy transition trends. Operational efficiency is improving: C1 iron ore costs dropped 11% YoY, while copper production grows with strong byproduct revenue. Despite weak Q1 results and FCF drop, margins remain solid, and valuation multiples (P/E 5.4x, EV/EBITDA 3.9x) suggest a steep discount.

5 Ideal 'Safer' Dividend Buys From Bloomberg's May Watchlist

I analyze 50 Bloomberg 'Companies to Watch' for 2025, focusing on the 35 that pay dividends and applying the yield-based dogcatcher strategy. 15 of these dividend payers are 'safer' stocks, with free cash flow yields exceeding dividend yields—five are IDEAL candidates for watch-to-buy. Top ten dividend dogs offer estimated average net gains of 21.33% for the coming year, but investors should beware of cash-poor stocks with negative free cash flow margins.
