Bitcoin price today: gains to $120k, near record high on U.S. regulatory cheer
Citi upgraded Movida Participacoes SA (BVMF:MOVI3:BZ) stock rating from neutral to buy on Thursday, raising its price target to R$9.20 from R$7.20.
The Brazilian car rental company has built "a good foundation to face macro challenges" despite economic deceleration and high interest rates that could test its performance, according to Citi.
The investment bank noted that Movida’s rental profitability appears solid even with segment mix changes, while its used car sales division (Seminovos) and depreciation should remain under control.
Citi highlighted that Movida’s balance sheet looks better than anticipated, adding that lower interest rates could serve as "a powerful lever for further stock upside."
Despite the stock’s strong year-to-date performance, Citi believes the "upside asymmetry seems to compensate for high risks involved," leading to the upgraded rating with a "high risk" designation.
