Petrobras is trading 19.95% down at $20.94 in pre-market on October 26, after reports linked Brazilian ADR declines to Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s runoff win.
- Reports also cited investor concerns about policy continuity and governance at state-owned companies; mixed market context made the election the clearer catalyst.
- Wall Street Zen downgraded Petrobras from strong-buy to buy, but coverage did not identify it as the cause of the steep drop.
- Q3 earnings are expected November 10, not October 26.
