Americanas Shares Drop 20% Following Third-Quarter Loss
Retailer reports a 352 million BRL loss and a sharp decline in operational Ebitda
Americanas shares closed Thursday's trading session with a 20% decline. This movement follows the company's report of a 352 million BRL net loss for the third quarter of 2026.
The company's operational performance showed significant deterioration during the period. Adjusted Ebitda totaled 52 million BRL compared to 558 million BRL recorded in the same interval of the previous year. Financial results also pressured the accounts as they reached a negative balance of 190 million BRL.
The retailer's capital structure changed drastically throughout the year. The company ended the quarter with a net debt of 1.16 billion BRL. This scenario contrasts with the positive cash position of 488 million BRL observed at the end of 2025.
Despite financial difficulties, the company's net revenue showed a 10% expansion year-over-year. Total revenue reached 2.97 billion BRL. Sales in existing units grew 7.3% during the period.
Management attributes the variations in the figures to the characteristic seasonality of the retail sector. The company seeks stability after concluding its judicial recovery process in October.
