Understand Why Investing In Oil And Gas May Be The Best Decision To Strengthen Your Portfolio.
Recently, the financial market has presented unique opportunities. The Ibovespa is on the rise, Vale reached almost R$ 67, and companies like 3R Petroleum are standing out significantly. Oil has accumulated gains this week, with Brent trading at over US$ 83, almost US$ 84, and this has opened up discussions about the best investment strategies.
Petrobras In Focus
Many investors wonder: why not invest in oil and gas through Petrobras, which dominates the Brazilian market? The answer may surprise. Despite being a giant in the sector, Petrobras faces challenges that make it a less attractive option at the moment. The company has lost R$ 55 billion in market value since Prates left, and there are forecasts that it could drop even further.
With the possibility of government interventions and reduced dividends, many investors are cautious. “I’m not buying Petrobras at this moment and I’m afraid to invest in the company now,” admitted an analyst. Petrobras is trading at R$ 36.66, and even with the recent loss of value, it is still highly valued compared to when the current government took office.

Promising Alternatives In Investing In Oil And Gas
In this scenario, investing in oil and gas through other companies may be a smart strategy. PetroRio, for instance, is trading at R$ 48.41 and is considered the market favorite. Although its dividend is modest because it is a growing company, it trades with a P/B ratio of 3.2 and an EV/EBIT of almost nine times, generating a lot of revenue and profit.
Another option is PetroRecôncavo, which is trading at R$ 20.21. “I feel more comfortable investing in it,” says an investor. With a P/B ratio of 1.42, the same as Petrobras, but without the same risks, the company presents a net margin of 32% and potential for significant growth in the next few years.
3R Petroleum also deserves mention. The company approved the incorporation of Enauta, and this union promises a potential production of 100 thousand barrels of oil per day over the next five years. “We bought shares at R$ 26, and it already shows very good appreciation,” celebrates an investor. Even with higher debt, the growth potential is significant.
Why Diversifying Is Important
Even with Petrobras’ dominance in the market, investing in oil and gas through other companies offers advantages. While Petrobras sells subsidized oil, other companies sell at market prices, which may result in more attractive returns for investors.
Moreover, oil remains essential in everyone’s life, and major powers do not intend to abandon its use anytime soon. Electric cars and sustainable energies are on the rise, but oil is still fundamental to the global economy. “It’s only fair that we also have it in our portfolio,” highlights an expert.
