10 Brazilian Stocks With Upside
5. Gerdau (GGB) is an integrated steel player operating in Brazil, North America and Latin America.
On average, analysts expect the company to deliver net profit growth of around 10% in 2011, riding on the back of improving fundamentals.
Net revenue increased 18% year-over-year during the latest first quarter, backed by improved sales. However, higher production costs dented profitability year-over-year, while margins increased sequentially. Gross margin stood at 13.9% and EBITDA margin increased to 13.2% for the quarter.
To consolidate its growth plans, Gerdau recently announced the acquisition of Acos Villares, a company engaged in the production of long steel. The proportion of North American sales increased to 35% in overall sales during the quarter, while domestic sales declined. The stock is trading at 13.5 times its 2011 earnings and analysts expect an upside of 42%, with a buy rating of 56%.Select the service that is right for you!
