Petrobras Downgraded After Brazil Imposes Export Tax

Petrobras saw analyst rating shifts in mid-March after Brazil announced a temporary 12% oil export tax and cuts to fuel taxes and diesel subsidies. Jefferies downgraded the stock to Hold on March 13, cutting its price target to $19, while HSBC on March 12 raised its target to $20 and kept a Buy rating. The measures may curb Petrobras’s oil-price leverage and dividend capacity.
