Vicente Falanga* • Os preços mais baixos do petróleo (-9,7% T/T) devem prejudicar as Ricardo França companhias do setor, mas a forte produção da Petrobras (+9,3% T/T) * Analista de valores mobiliários credenciado responsável pelas deve sustentar os resultados. declarações nos termos do Art. 21 da ICVM 598/18 • Principais recomendações em ordem. Entre as distribuidoras: Ultrapar, Cosan, BR Distribuidora (todos com recomendação de Compra). Também temos recomendação de Compra para Petrobras. Petrobras (PETR4/PETR3): A empresa divulgará seus resultados do 3T19 na noite desta quinta-feira, 24/10. Acreditamos que a forte produção deve compensar os fracos preços do petróleo. Apesar de uma forte retração nos preços do Brent (-9,7%), esperamos que a forte recuperação da produção da Petrobras (+ 9,3% em comparação ao 2T19) beneficie os resultados. Estimamos o EBITDA ajustado em cerca de R$ 31 bilhões (-3% no trimestre). O lucro líquido deve chegar a R$ 10,9 bilhões, auxiliado por ganhos de capital com a venda parcial da BR Distribuidora, compensando parcialmente provisões de -R$ 3,2 bilhões. Descontando itens não recorrentes, esperamos um resultado final de R$ 6,5 bilhões (-19% na comparação anual no 3T19 e + 37% na comparação do 3T19 com o trimestre imediatamente anterior), sequencialmente mais forte devido à expectativa de menor taxa de imposto de renda.
