Sector ReportEquitiesUtilities

Goldman Sachs upgrades the investment case for Brazilian utilities following a 16% correction, citing attractive valuations and defensive characteristics against macro risks.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.Brazilian Utilities remain attractive due to reasonable valuations (avg ~4p.p. real IRR spreads) and role as a hedge against inflation and GDP volatility.
  • 2.High duration and leverage in names like Equatorial and Energisa provide significant upside potential in a rate mean-reversion scenario.
