An announcement from Vale SA ( (VALE) ) is now available.

In 2024, Vale S.A. reported a decrease in net income to US$5,975 million from US$8,105 million in 2023, primarily due to lower average realized prices of iron ore fines and pellets. The company’s net operating revenue fell by 8.9% to US$38,056 million, impacted by a 7.8% drop in iron ore prices. Despite these challenges, Vale saw increased sales volumes and benefited from gains on divestments in PT Vale Indonesia Tbk and Vale Oman Distribution Center.
