Vale: Why I'm Not Buying This ~5x EBITDA Multiple Yet
Vale S.A. presents an attractive valuation and potential for significant dividends, particularly in nickel and base metals. However, the company's heavy reliance on iron ore and exposure to risks in China and Brazil necessitate a cautious approach. As a result, the recommendation is to hold rather than buy at this time.
- ▪Vale has a solid valuation and is gaining relevance in base metals, especially nickel.
- ▪The company could see a dividend yield of over 6% in 2026, with potential for special dividends.
- ▪Risks related to iron ore price fluctuations and exposure to China and Brazil limit the stock's upside.
