About: Vale SA 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. Vale has agreed to sell a minority 13% stake in energy transition metals, its base metals business, which is expected to become effective in 2024, and which is likely the first step in separating base metals and iron ore.

Double-Digit Dividend Yield: Why Vale Stands Out

Vale's valuation is attractive, trading at a P/E of ~4.2x for 2025, with an EPS forecast implying a 24% earnings yield and a double-digit dividend yield. Despite long-term risks in iron ore, Vale's efficiency and growth in energy transition metals like copper and nickel offer promising diversification and margin improvement.
