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.
Strategic Analysis
Gerdau • 2026
Gerdau S.A. is a major player in the steel industry in Brazil, focused on the production of steel for the construction and industrial sectors.

Strengths
- Well-established position in the Brazilian market with recognized expertise in construction steel
- Sector diversification that limits exposure to specific economic cycles
- Ability to capitalize on the growth of infrastructure investments in the region
Weaknesses
- Notable sensitivity to the volatility of metallurgical raw material prices
- Relatively weak medium-term performance, highlighting challenges in competitiveness or operational efficiency
Momentum
The current momentum is moderately positive, supported by significant progress in recent semesters, reflecting a renewed interest from investors. 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.
