Vale SA: Strategic Growth in Base Metals and Robust Financial Positioning Drive Buy RatingWe have already seen some signi fi cant cost improvement (especially on nickel) and believe gains are limited from here. Additionally, we think the timeline on copper growth is unlikely to be brought forward in a more signifi cant way due to technical challenges (e.g, feasibility studies need to be developed). We previously wrote on the upside case for VBM (GSe c.$13-18B NAV). Capital Allocation: Copper growth to replace iron ore? Could expanded net n debt targets change? While iron ore growth capex is expected to have its last year in 2026 as the company delivers the important milestones in the north (including doubling the conveyor belt at S11D and a secondary crusher), we expect it to be replaced by copper growth projects within VBM.
