BB Seguridade is trading 4% down at $39.55 after Citi cut its recommendation from neutral to sell on September 10.
- Citi lowered its target price from R$36 to R$35 and warned renewals of key Banco do Brasil distribution contracts could require significant economic concessions.
- Contract-risk concerns remain the clearest explanation for the September 14 decline; broader risk-off pressure may have added, but the move appears primarily company-specific.
- Citi’s bearish scenario values the shares at R$19 if the contracts are not renewed.
