Vale S.A.

One email when a drop — in price or in valuation — is historically rare for VALE. Otherwise we stay quiet.

Worth a look

Bigger than its usual dip. Not yet rare.

Vale S.A. is 18.1% off its high — deeper than its 6.7% average pullback, but it has been through 96 drawdowns before. Not historically significant yet — we'll say so if that changes.

Valuation is notable too — P/S Severity Score 2.4, below its typical range.
