On September 1, Petrobras rose 3.25% in regular trading, extending its multi-session rebound. The latest catalyst came from data released by Brazilian oil regulator ANP, which reported that Brazil's oil and gas production reached 5.9 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in July, marking a further acceleration from the record set in June and surpassing the 5.6 million boe/day reported in May.
The production milestone builds on already strong fundamentals. The company's first-half results showed net profit attributable to shareholders of $16.627 billion, up 55.3% year-over-year, while total revenue reached $57.14 billion, a 35.7% increase. Second-quarter adjusted EBITDA of 93.84 billion Brazilian reais exceeded market expectations of 91.37 billion reais. Additionally, Petrobras recently completed the early redemption of approximately $1 billion in global bonds maturing in 2028, underscoring its robust financial position.
Against the backdrop of Middle East supply disruptions, Brazil has drawn heightened market attention as a critical alternative crude supplier, further supporting the bullish sentiment around Petrobras shares.
