Where PBR is headed
Petrobras in mid-2028 looks like a company the market has spent five years trying not to own. Pre-salt production keeps climbing toward 3.2 million barrels per day as Búzios fields ramp and the Sépia and Atapu expansions hit full stride. Lifting costs sit around $5 per barrel, which is roughly half of what Exxon pays in the Permian. At $70 Brent, this machine throws off $25-30 billion in free cash flow annually on an enterprise value that today is only $145 billion. That is not an oil company. That is a printing press the market has decided to value like a melting ice cube.
