About Vale

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.

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Vale stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Vale’s iron ore production rose 3.7% year-on-year in Q2 2025 to 83.6 million tonnes, driven by record output at the S11D and Brucutu mines, and the company reaffirmed its 2025 iron ore guidance of 325–335 million tonnes, underpinned by new asset ramp-ups and operational reliability. (Reuters)
Base metals output delivered strong growth in Q2 2025, with copper production up nearly 18% to 92,600 tonnes and nickel output soaring 44% to 40,300 tonnes, benefiting from higher grades and capacity expansions such as Onça Puma and Bacaba. (Reuters)
Vale has executed half of its 70 billion reais New Carajás Program, including advancing the $3 billion Serra Sul project to 73% completion, which targets boosting annual iron ore production to 200 million tonnes and copper output by 32%, laying the foundation for long-term volume growth. (Reuters)
Vale’s second-quarter net profit declined 24% year-on-year to $2.12 billion, reflecting the impact of lower iron ore prices and volumes despite beating analyst forecasts on revenue of $8.8 billion. (Reuters)
The average realized price for Vale’s iron ore fines fell 13.3% year-on-year to $85.1 per tonne in Q2 2025, squeezing core segment revenue and underscoring the company’s exposure to volatile benchmark prices. (Reuters)
Vale cut its 2025 iron ore agglomerates production forecast to 31–35 million tonnes from the prior 38–42 million tonnes, citing weak market demand and earlier preventive maintenance at its São Luís pelletizing plant, indicating potential headwinds to volume growth. (Reuters)
