On Thursday, Jefferies adjusted its outlook on Itausa shares (ITSA4:BZ), increasing the price target to R$11.30 from the previous R$11.00, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The firm's decision reflects a positive view on the company's financial health and its potential for future growth.
The stock price target revision is based on the expectation that the discount on Itausa's Net Asset Value (NAV) will decrease. This anticipated change is attributed to the company's proven investment track record, its premium shareholder remuneration, a solid balance sheet, and superior NAV growth prospects.
Jefferies believes that Itausa's stock is currently trading at a discount compared to its target NAV, which is estimated at R$13.2. The new price target of R$11.30 suggests that the stock is expected to reach a market value that is 15% less than the projected NAV.
The financial institution has reiterated its Buy rating for Itausa, signaling confidence in the company's ability to perform well in the market. The rating indicates that the firm anticipates the stock to outperform in the coming period based on the underlying financial and operational factors.
Investors and market watchers will be monitoring Itausa's performance to see if the company's stock aligns with Jefferies' projections and if the anticipated narrowing of the NAV discount materializes as expected.
