THIS WEEK’S DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH 💎

I recently started my own mining business. It has been a real blast! 🦺

This week’s diamond in the rough: Vale SA (VALE)

How is Vale SA using AI? Vale SA is a Brazilian mining company that produces iron ore, nickel, and other materials. While it’s not a typical tech company, it uses AI to make its mining operations run more smoothly. AI helps Vale track data from its machines—like trucks, trains, and conveyor belts—to spot problems early and avoid breakdowns. The company even created a special AI center to improve how it uses technology across all its global sites.

Why is Vale SA valuable? In Q1 2025, Vale reported $1.39 billion in profit and $8.12 billion in revenue—both down from last year and below expectations, mainly due to lower iron ore prices. Despite this, the company cut production costs by 11% and boosted sales volumes by using inventory to offset weather-related disruptions. While earnings slipped, Vale showed strong operational discipline in a tough market. Additionally, its innovative approach to global commodities gives it a promising outlook in the long term.
