Why Vale’s Iron Ore Margins Should Remain Supported

Why Vale’s Iron Ore Margins Should Remain Supported

Is a Valuation Rerating in the Cards for Vale Stock? The EBITDA for the ferrous division was almost in line with the previous quarter despite seasonally lower volumes, mainly due to higher premiums and the net effect of the 13% increase in the benchmark iron ore index. Vale’s free-on-board (or FOB) cost per ton for iron ore fines was $14.8 per ton in the first quarter, in line with 4Q17.
