Brazil’s WEG reports second-quarter earnings miss amid geopolitical uncertainty, shares fall

Brazil’s WEG reports second-quarter earnings miss amid geopolitical uncertainty, shares fall

WEG, a Brazilian motor maker, recently reported a 10.4% increase in second-quarter net profit, falling short of market expectations due to global economic volatility. This news caused a sharp decline in the company’s shares, making it the biggest loser on the Bovespa stock index.

The uncertain results have raised concerns for WEG, as analysts have highlighted its exposure to the 50% tariff proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on Brazilian goods starting August 1. Despite these challenges, WEG remains confident in its long-term business model and financial flexibility to navigate market risks.

In the second quarter, WEG’s net income reached 1.59 billion reais, slightly below the 1.76 billion reais forecasted by analysts. Net revenue saw a 10.1% year-on-year increase to 10.2 billion reais, while EBITDA rose 6.5% to 2.26 billion reais. However, both revenue and EBITDA fell short of analyst expectations.

The company attributed its growth to a strong performance in the transmission and distribution infrastructure segment, which supplies equipment for large projects like transmission lines. Despite geopolitical uncertainties impacting investment decisions for major projects, WEG maintained consistent growth and profitability.

Santander analysts noted that the revenue miss was driven by slower sales growth in domestic markets and a weaker U.S. dollar affecting external revenue. WEG’s EBITDA margin decreased by 80 basis points year-on-year to 22.1%.

WEG operates plants in over a dozen countries, including the United States and Mexico, with North America accounting for 48% of its revenue from external markets in the second quarter. The company emphasized its global production presence, diversified product portfolio, and ability to adapt to changing market conditions as key strengths in mitigating macroeconomic impacts.

Overall, WEG remains optimistic about its long-term prospects despite short-term challenges, affirming its commitment to monitoring market risks and maintaining financial resilience. The company’s ability to react swiftly to evolving scenarios and leverage its diverse business segments positions it well for sustained growth in the future.
