On August 28, Petrobras rose 3.28% in regular trading. The rally was primarily driven by robust first-half financial results and record-breaking production data, supporting a recovery from a prior selloff.
The company reported H1 net profit attributable to shareholders of $16.627 billion, surging 55.3% year-over-year from $10.708 billion in the prior-year period. Total revenue reached $57.14 billion, up 35.7% YoY, while gross profit climbed 51.1% to $30.833 billion. Second-quarter adjusted EBITDA came in at 93.84 billion reais, exceeding the market consensus of 91.37 billion reais. On the production front, June output hit an all-time high, following May production of 5.6 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. Additionally, the company announced early redemption of approximately $1 billion in global bonds due in 2028, signaling strong balance sheet confidence. The stock had previously declined over 3% on August 24 amid uncertainty surrounding Braskem bankruptcy protection proceedings, making today's move a fundamentals-driven recovery.
