On July 22, Petroleo Brasileiro SA Petrobras rose 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $19.07/share, with turnover of $47.89 million, notably outperforming integrated oil peers.
The rally reflects a confluence of company-specific catalysts. Petrobras recently announced its Buzios field reached a record daily output of 1.2 million barrels, underscoring continued upstream capacity expansion. In early July, the company cut aviation fuel prices by 14.5%, while its CEO noted oil prices have stabilized in the $72-75/barrel range. Additionally, the company completed multiple asset acquisitions in recent months, including a 50% stake in the Itaimbezinho block from Equinor and full ownership recovery of Campos Basin fields for $450 million. Its board also approved a $1.2 billion biorefining project at the Presidente Bernardes refinery in Sao Paulo state, targeting 15,000 barrels/day of bio-jet fuel and renewable diesel by 2030. The next earnings report is scheduled for August 6, with consensus EPS expectations of $1.35.
Within the Integrated Oil & Gas sector, peers also posted gains: Shell up 1.66%, Occidental up 2.02%, BP up 1.70%, Exxon Mobil up 1.32%, and Chevron up 0.88%.
