Vale S.A. ( VALE ) Q3 2026 Earnings Call October 30, 2026 10:00 AM EDT Company Participants Gustavo Duarte Pimenta - Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Bacci - Executive Vice President of Finance & Investor Relations Carlos Medeiros - Executive Vice President of Operations Shaun Usmar - Chief Executive Officer of Vale Base Metals Ltd Rogério Nogueira - Executive Vice President of Commercial & Development Conference Call Participants Leonardo Correa - Banco BTG Pactual S.A., Research Division Rodolfo De Angele - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division Rafael Barcellos - Banco Bradesco BBI S.A.

Vale's Q3 results were weak, with lower iron ore prices hurting earnings, although operating costs showed some improvement. The iron ore cycle has yet to recover, as Chinese steel demand remains weak and additional supply could keep prices under pressure. Vale Base Metals, mainly driven by copper, now accounts for nearly one-third of EBITDA, reducing the company's dependence on iron ore.

Shares of Brazilian companies tumbled Monday following the unexpected re-election of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

NYSE · As of 4:00 PM ET 10/26/26

Shares of Brazilian companies tumbled Monday following the surprise re-election of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Vale is downgraded to "Hold" after a strong 47% total return since February 2025, citing bearish technicals and valuation concerns. Despite record metals production and a 19% YoY EBITDA increase, VALE faces cost inflation and commodity price dependency, notably in iron ore. Shares now trade above their historical P/E, with a limited margin of safety; a normalized EPS of $1.80 and a 7x multiple suggest a fair value near $12.60.

Brazilian markets prepared for one outcome and received another. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won a fourth term in Sunday's runoff, beating Flávio Bolsonaro with 51.8% of valid votes to 48.2%, a margin of about 4.4 million ballots.
