Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).
Some durable-advantage evidence, but not across the board — dig into which ingredient is weak and whether it's cyclical or structural.
51.7% average over the last 3 years
±8.1 pts around 42.5% across 10 years
grew in 3 of the last 9 year-over-year periods
positive in 10 of 10 years
27.0% latest fiscal year
A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what PBR's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. PBR trades near $18.53, around its 50-day average ($18.93) and 200-day average ($15.73). Price tangled in its moving averages means there is no clear trend — the stock is ranging.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 16 it is oversold — selling has been heavy and a bounce is possible.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. PBR's is $0.43 (~2.3% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month PBR found buyers near $15.86 (support) and sellers near $18.51 (resistance); its 52-week range is $11.43–$22.24. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.5× the 20-day average — lighter than usual, so the move carries less conviction. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Can the payout survive a bad year? Scored from filed cash flow, earnings coverage, and the raise/cut record.
Coverage is weak, the payout was cut recently, or it's being financed rather than earned — treat the current yield as fragile.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for PBR:
- High net margins (21.6%) point to pricing power or efficiency.
- Strong return on equity (25.6%) shows capital is put to work well.
- Pays a 9.4% dividend on top of any price gains.
- Our model's overall read is Favorable (64/100).
The case against PBR:
- Revenue growth is slow (0.4%), limiting the upside engine.
- Like any single stock, it is exposed to competition, the economic cycle, and shifts in its end markets.

Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the fundamentals screen favourably: Petroleo Brasileiro SA Petrobras is a large-cap energy business growing at a mature pace, with solid profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 5.0x earnings, which our model scores Favorable (64/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
