Weak Performance of Petrobras in 2024 Raises Questions About Dividends, With Shares Pressured by Tariff War and Fall in Oil Price

Petrobras shares (PETR4) have registered a cumulative devaluation of 16.8% in 2024. The weak performance has raised concerns among investors. The results for the fourth quarter of 2024 were disappointing to the market, and expectations are growing around the first quarter of 2025 earnings report, scheduled for May 12.

Impact of the Tariff War Between the U.S. and China

Ruy Hungria, a dividend analyst at Empiricus Research, points out that the main factor behind the fall in shares is the tariff war between the United States and China.

Although oil was not included in the tariffs, the sector was affected. On April 2, following the announcement of new tariffs by Donald Trump, the state-owned company’s shares plunged sharply.

Cheaper Oil Reduces Petrobras Margin

The drop in oil prices directly affects the state-owned company’s profit. With the cost of production per barrel remaining stable, the decline in commodity value pressures profit margins. This raises doubts about Petrobras’s ability to continue paying high dividends.

Today, Brent oil is trading around US$ 62. According to Hungria, this level still allows the company to generate cash. But he emphasizes: “In our calculations, it can generate a bit of cash until oil is a little above US$ 50. Below that, it begins to be a more negative scenario, which is unlikely.”

Petrobras Remains on the Radar of Dividend Investors

Even amid uncertainties, Hungria still sees Petrobras as a good option for those seeking dividends. Every month, he selects the five best stocks on the Brazilian stock exchange focused on dividends.

Petrobras is one of the chosen ones. The goal is to find mature companies with a proven ability to generate free cash flow and distribute profits sustainably over time.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

Unemployed and with a child to support, Joab turned hot coffee into a fresh start: he wakes up at 2 a.m., sells on Anhanguera, lets drivers pay later through the “trust Pix,” and conquers the internet even when some continue their journey without depositing.

The explosion in Siberia, recorded on June 30, 1908, over Tunguska, released energy estimated between 10 and 15 megatons of TNT, devastated about 2,150 square kilometers of forest, knocked down approximately 80 million trees, and remains one of the biggest warnings about near-Earth objects.

Lock manufacturer from Rio Grande do Sul invests R$ 150 million to surpass R$ 1 billion in revenue, create 200 jobs, and double storage capacity, while choosing Santa Catarina to set up a new logistics center and speed up deliveries in Southern Brazil.
