VALE

Market cap $47.7B

Vale S.A. faces ongoing pressure from weak iron ore prices due to China's property downturn but maintains profitability with low costs and copper growth. Vale stock's valuation is attractive at a ~6X forward P/E, supported by competitive operating costs, cheap oil, and favorable Brazilian inflation dynamics. Long-term risks persist as China's iron demand is expected to decline sharply, though India's rising steel production may offset some losses by the 2030s.
