Vale S.A. (VALE-N) is facing a challenging landscape, primarily due to commodity price volatility, recent geopolitical risks in Brazil, and the ramifications of a catastrophic tailings dam failure. Experts indicate that iron prices have been weak, yet the company continues to generate substantial free cash flow. Some reviewers consider the stock too speculative, especially given the substantial penalties related to operational risks and disasters that have occurred, including a tragic accident resulting in 60 deaths. Despite the underlying strengths of Vale's operations and its strong dividend, concerns remain regarding market support levels and possible targeting of previous lows from 2020. Among all perspectives, the strategic nature of mining investments tends to amplify the risks, making a comprehensive and careful evaluation essential for prospective investors.

Consensus
Negative
Valuation
Fair Value
WAIT

Cheap. Waiting to see outcome of penalties for catastrophic tailings dam failure in Brazil. He needs to do a net present value analysis. Iron has been fairly weak recently, but company still generates substantial free cash from Brazil.

DON'T BUY

Too speculative for him in mining.

DON'T BUY

A lot of metals have been settling down, and Brazil's had some rough times. Might have broken the support level, probably because copper and metals are taking a breather. Possible it will see lows of 2020. Chart's more bearish than bullish right now.

He wouldn't buy it. If you already own, it's your call, as the next target is that 2020 low.

RISKY

Depends on view of copper prices. Very high exposure to commodity swings. Good operator, but would advise a detailed investigation. Can be a risky asset and business. 

RISKY

Challenge is geopolitical risk in Brazil & disaster in recent mine (60 deaths). Potential $15 Billion settlement outstanding. Despite these risks, owns shares. Speculative buy with a strong dividend. Iron/Ore franchise strong. 

COMMENT

Was upgraded today. She used to own it. The company isn't that transparent and iron ore is a tight market, but she prefers copper's supply/demand trend. Likes Vale's free cash flow and paying down debt.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 06/22, Up 3.3%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with VALE has triggered its stop at $15.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  This will result in a net investment gain of 13%, when combined with our previous buy recommendation.  

DON'T BUY

It's based on Brazil, so there's unwanted political risk.

BUY

The market doesn't like Latin America where VALE operates, but copper prices are starting to fly, and so will VALE shares. This is a trade.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate VALE, the world's largest producer of iron and nickel - two critical components in infrastructure, batteries and steel -- as a TOP PICK. The company reports demand for ore outstrips supply and expects copper demand to rise too. It trades at only 4x earnings and 2x book. It pays a great dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 20% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop-loss from $9.50 to $11.50, looking to achieve $17.50 -- upside potential over 18%. Yield 5.3% (Analysts’ price target is $17.47)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This TOP PICK is the world's largest producer of iron and nickel - two critical components in infrastructure, batteries and steel. The company just signed a deal with TSLA to supply nickel for its EV batteries. It trades at only 3x earnings and under 2x book. Recently reported earnings beat analyst expectations and support a ROE of 58%. It pays a great dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 20% of cash flow. We recommend placing a stop loss at $9.50, looking to achieve $17.00 -- upside potential over 35%. Yield 6.3% (Analysts’ price target is $17.21)
Unspecified
It is good company to own for iron ore and the resources space. It has kept with their core business and is doing much better than years ago. Well valued. BHP is one of its peers and because it is bigger it is less volatile in this space.
DON'T BUY
Has reported cost inflation on products. Trading close to net asset value. Two major lawsuits in the past years. Large environmental disasters causing headaches for company. Upcoming election in Brazil a risk. Does not think the dividend is sustainable.
