#5 - Vale (NYSE:VALE)
Vale (NYSE: VALE) is one of the world’s leading producers of iron ore and iron ore pellets used in steelmaking. The need to build new multi-family homes, the need to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure, and the exploding demand for data centers are just three reasons to believe that demand for steel will remain strong. That demand should supersede any talk on tariffs from both the Biden administration and the Republican party nominee, Donald Trump.
But steel isn’t the only reason to consider Vale. The company also has an Energy Transition Materials unit that produces and extracts nickel, gold, silver, cobalt, and other metals like copper. All of which is to say VALE stock, which is down 30% in 2024, is a likely choice as a turnaround candidate with lower interest rates and cyclical demand.
The company’s dividend yield of 10.49% doesn’t offset the 30% decline in the company’s stock price, but it’s a good reason to start averaging into a position now.
