How this is scored: each factor above is a 0–100 percentile rank against every other stock BeStock covers (or, for Wall Street, against the five-point Strong Buy–Sell scale). The overall grade is the plain average of whichever factors apply to this stock — no factor is weighted more than another. That average maps to a letter: A ≥ 85, B ≥ 70, C ≥ 50, D ≥ 30, otherwise F. Recomputed from the data on this page as prices and filings update — it describes where a stock ranks today, not a forecast, and not a BeStock recommendation to buy or sell.

Vale SA: the business
Vale is a Brazilian miner and one of the largest iron ore and nickel producers in the world.
What tends to move it. Iron ore prices, Chinese steel demand and safety and dam-related liabilities drive the stock.
Where the case gets weaker. Chinese steel demand cooling would cut into iron ore prices that drive most of Vale's earnings, and any new safety or dam-related liability, given its history, could bring another round of large legal and remediation costs.
