Vale SA ( (VALE) ) has shared an announcement.
On November 14, 2025, Vale S.A. announced that the English High Court found BHP Group liable under Brazilian law for the 2015 Fundão dam failure, a disaster operated by Samarco Mineração S.A. The court’s decision validates waivers signed by claimants already compensated in Brazil, potentially reducing the number of claimants and the value of claims. Vale and BHP had previously agreed to share liability equally for any compensation required. A second-stage trial is scheduled for October 2026 to determine BHP’s role in the losses claimed. In October 2024, Vale, along with Samarco and BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda., reached a $32 billion settlement with Brazilian authorities to address the disaster’s impacts, including environmental remediation and community reconstruction. Vale has allocated $13 billion towards these efforts, with significant progress reported in affected areas.
The most recent analyst rating on (VALE) stock is a Hold with a $12.90 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vale SA stock, see the VALE Stock Forecast page.
