Earnings call transcript: Unipar Q3 2026 misses revenue forecast, shares rise
Unipar's Q3 2026 earnings call transcript revealed that the company missed revenue forecasts, with revenue falling 16% to BRL 1.125 billion. Recurring EBITDA dropped significantly to BRL 180 million, a 55% decline from the previous quarter. Despite the weaker performance, Unipar's stock rose 4.4% to $4.27, showing investor confidence in the company's strong cash generation and lower debt levels.
The net loss was BRL 16 million, but operating cash flow remained robust at BRL 330 million. Management is focusing on a strategic shift towards chlorinated products and selective PVC sales, citing falling international prices and subdued domestic demand as challenges. Brazil faced pressure from imports and weak demand, while Argentina experienced even more severe operating strain.
Revenue and EBITDA were below expectations, but the company's balance sheet strength and cash generation capabilities may have outweighed the negative earnings results in the eyes of investors.
