Investor Optimism Led to State-Owned Company’s Valuation of R$ 319.928 Billion, Surpassing Vale on October 2
With the progress of presidential candidate Jair Messias Bolsonaro (PSL) in the latest voter surveys this Tuesday (2), Petrobras’ shares were boosted, reaching a valuation of R$ 319.928 billion, surpassing even Vale, which is now the second largest company in value in Brazil, followed by Ambev and Itaú in third and fourth place, respectively.
Bolsonaro’s policy of opening the Brazilian market to global capital is seen by investors as a good indicator for future projects in the country, as the candidate has an ideological bias towards privatization in the Golden Share modality, whereby the government would still have some decision-making power in Petrobras.

The 7-seater SUV has become an alternative for those who need space without spending much, combining a 260 hp V6 engine, automatic transmission, and the size of a large utility vehicle for less than R$ 80,000: meet the 2012 Hyundai Veracruz.
Despite this milestone, the highest valuation celebrated by the company in 2018 was in May, reaching R$ 388.845 billion. The Ibovespa, an index that gathers the main stocks traded on the São Paulo Stock Exchange, closed the day up 3.78%, at 81,593.85 points. There hadn’t been such a significant appreciation in the stock market since November 7, 2016.
Petrobras Director Says the Worst Phase for the State-Owned Company Is Over
