VALE Pros and Cons Explained Pros Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Vale S.A.: Vale S.A. is a major producer and seller of iron ore and iron ore pellets, essential raw materials in steelmaking, providing a stable revenue stream. The company operates in Brazil and internationally, diversifying its market exposure and potentially reducing risks associated with a single market. Vale S.A. has a strong presence in the energy transition materials segment, producing nickel for electric vehicles and other high-demand products, aligning with the growing trend towards sustainable energy sources.
