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.

Bulls say / Bears say

Vale’s iron ore production climbed 3.7% year-on-year to 83.6 Mt in Q2 2025, supported by record output at the S11D mine and strong results at Brucutu, reinforcing its full-year guidance of 325–335 Mt. (Reuters)
Vale’s copper production increased by 18% to 92.6 kt and nickel output surged 44% to 40.3 kt in Q2 2025, driven by ramp-ups at Salobo, Sossego, and Voisey’s Bay, strengthening its diversification beyond iron ore. (Reuters)
Vale’s Q1 2025 iron ore C1 cash cost dropped 11% to US$ 21 per ton, demonstrating effective cost control that helped cushion the impact of lower prices and underscoring its operational efficiency. (Reuters)
Average realized iron ore fines price fell 13.3% year-on-year to US$ 85.1 per ton in Q2 2025, putting significant pressure on Vale’s iron ore revenues despite higher production volumes. (Reuters)
Vale’s Q1 2025 net profit declined 17% to US$ 1.39 billion, narrowly missing analysts’ expectations and highlighting its sensitivity to iron ore price volatility. (Reuters)
Vale cut its 2025 iron ore agglomerates output forecast to 31–35 Mt from 38–42 Mt, citing weaker market conditions and raising concern about demand for premium pellets. (Reuters)
