Market Focus10-26 16:02

On October 26, Vale SA fell 6.16% in Pre-Market Trading, trading at $11.6402/share, with turnover of $391,000.

The move coincided with cautious sentiment ahead of the company’s October 29 earnings release, as market expectations point to only 0.30% year-over-year revenue growth for the quarter and a recent target-price cut added pressure.

Recent updates show UBS lowered its price target on Vale SA to $14.50 from $15 while maintaining a Neutral rating. At the same time, consensus still indicates an average Overweight rating and a mean target price of about $16.42, while Scotiabank upgraded the stock to Sector Outperform with a $16 target. Even so, the more immediate focus has been on softer near-term growth expectations ahead of earnings, with expected EPS of $0.33 versus $0.36 reported in the prior quarter.
