The Ibovespa inched higher to near 158,000 on Wednesday, tracking global optimism as investors awaited a vote in the US House of Representatives to end the longest government shutdown in history.

Locally, markets digested a new round of earnings and corporate news.

Itaú Unibanco edged higher after announcing a R$3.6 billion repurchase of subordinated financial bills issued in 2020 and maturing in 2030.

Cosan gained 0.8% after raising R$1.43 billion in its second public share offering.

Gol advanced 0.7% after reporting a net profit of R$248 million in 3Q25, reversing a R$1.42 billion loss a year earlier.

B3 inched up as its net profit rose 3.5% to R$1.2 billion, with EPS up 11.6% on stronger operations and buybacks.

Eneva also traded higher after posting a 243% surge in net profit to R$351.7 million, boosted by strong thermal generation and new gas operations.

In contrast, Petrobras and Vale edged lower amid weaker oil and iron ore prices.



News Stream
Ibovespa Closes the Week in the Red
The Ibovespa fell 0.8% to close at 186,293 on Friday, as profit taking in heavyweights and persistent pressure in financials outweighed relief from softer US inflation and lower domestic rates. Vale dropped 2.8% after its 4Q25 results and weaker iron ore prices, while Banco do Brasil slid 2.3% and BB Seguridade plunged 9.6%, leading losses across the banking complex. Petrobras was broadly flat despite crude gains, as US sanctions relief for Venezuela reinforced expectations of ample global supply. The January US CPI came below the expectations, easing Treasury yields and pushing Brazilian DI rates lower. Retail sales are projected to post a ninth consecutive annual increase in 2025, albeit remaining below 2024 levels. The Ibovespa will resume trading on February 18th after the Carnival holiday.

Ibovespa Down amid Weak Vale Earnings
The Ibovespa fell over 1% to trade below 185,500 on Friday, pressured by heavyweight Vale. The miner dropped nearly 3% after posting a $3.8 billion net loss in 4Q, widening from a $694 million loss a year earlier, reflecting accounting write-downs despite solid iron ore and copper sales. Petrobras declined more than 1% as oil prices edged lower amid expectations of a sizable supply surplus, rising inventories, and easing US-Iran tensions. Ambev fell 2% despite slightly beating forecasts, as revenue and profit both declined 8%. Banco do Brasil slid over 2% after booking a R$3.6 billion loss related to Braskem shares (-1.2%) used as collateral by Novonor. On the data front, retail sales fell 0.4% month-over-month in December 2025. Shares from Raia Drogasil and C&A fell more than 1%, while those from Raízen declined 3%.
