• We recommend a Hold on Sabesp shares after strong 3Q24 results, but watch for valuation risks amid Brazilian economic uncertainty and rising interest rates.

The article on Seeking Alpha discusses Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo (Sabesp), Brazil's largest water and sewage company, and its Q3 results. Despite reporting a good performance with a 14.5% increase in adjusted EBITDA and a 15.1% rise in net income, the author expresses skepticism about the company's future due to macroeconomic challenges in Brazil. These include high interest rates, inflation, and political uncertainty which could impact Sabesp's ability to invest in necessary infrastructure upgrades. The article highlights that while Sabesp has managed to increase tariffs and maintain operational efficiency, the broader economic environment, including potential government interventions and regulatory changes, might hinder long-term growth and stability. The author remains cautious, suggesting that despite the positive quarterly results, the stock might not be an attractive investment at its current valuation due to these external pressures.
