Anima stock (ISIN BRANIMACNOR6) was last at BRL 3.34 on B3 on October 2, 2026, after gaining 8.09 percent in the session. The move followed evidence of firmer operating performance, with CNN Brasil reporting on October 2, 2026, that group revenue grew 8 percent while the average net ticket in core academic education reached BRL 957.

Second-quarter profit tripled

The central operating signal is the second quarter of 2026. According to TraderNews, Anima reported BRL 1.05 billion in net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 4.4 percent from the second quarter of 2025.

Net income attributable to controlling shareholders reached BRL 29.1 million, compared with BRL 9.5 million a year earlier. That is a BRL 19.6 million improvement, while adjusted EBITDA reached BRL 383.8 million, up 9.0 percent year over year, according to TraderNews.

Ticket growth offsets student pressure

The revenue mix gives the result a more specific interpretation. CNN Brasil reported that the average net ticket in core academic education rose to BRL 957, with a 9.4 percent increase during the first half of 2026. The same report described a 3 percent decline in the student base, making pricing and student retention key variables for the next report.

That trade-off matters because higher ticket revenue can support sales while a smaller student base limits operating leverage. Anima's investor-relations calendar lists the third-quarter 2026 results for November 5, 2026, after the market close, with a results webinar scheduled for November 6, 2026, according to the Anima investor-relations page.

Consensus stays close to market price

The analyst picture is cautious rather than uniformly bullish. Investing.com lists a Neutral consensus from 12 analysts, including 2 Buy, 7 Hold and 3 Sell ratings. Its average 12-month target is BRL 3.43, with a high estimate of BRL 6.50 and a low estimate of BRL 1.80.

The average target lies 2.7 percent above the BRL 3.34 market price on October 2, 2026. A recent counterpoint came from Safra: Money Times reported on September 21, 2026, that the bank cut Anima's recommendation from Buy to Neutral and set a BRL 3.50 target. Safra also projected 3 percent to 7 percent revenue growth and a 90 to 150 basis-point contraction in adjusted EBITDA margins for the third quarter.
