Performance & Momentum
Gerdau lifted by Scotiabank upgrade
Scotiabank has upgraded Gerdau S.A. from "Sector Perform" to "Outperform" and raised its price target to 22 reais from 20 reais. The bank believes Gerdau's North American operations should continue to support the group's performance, as the stock remains seen as attractive below $10 on the NYSE. This improvement in analyst sentiment comes after several more cautious views published recently, which could support the shares in the near term. Even though the latest results showed broadly stable profitability, this positive note reinforces the view that the stock has re-rating potential if operating momentum holds up.

This favorable dynamic reflects operational stabilization and a local environment conducive to infrastructure, but requires confirmation in the medium term to consider a sustainable repositioning.
