Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Vale Indonesia's Q3/24 results came in below expectations with net income -8.1% below consensus, although there was a slight 0.4% beat for revenue </li>
<li>Revenue dropped -17.6% yoy, hit by a -20.1% decline in the nickel matte price as volume rose 3.1%, which offset a -0.6% decline in cost of revenue </li>
<li>We expect short-term pressure on the shares, with ROE and P/B near two decade lows, as nickel could remain weak and new projects could be a H2/25 driver </li>
