- Petrobras is scheduled to release third-quarter 2026 results after the market close on Tuesday.

- Freight costs, currency movements, refinery maintenance and diesel imports remain key risks for profitability.
Petrobras is heading into its third-quarter 2026 results with record operating volumes but a mixed earnings setup. The Brazilian oil producer is scheduled to publish its financial figures after the market close on Tuesday, November 10, according to its investor calendar and a preview by Yahoo Finance.
Petrobras stock traded at 16.18 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 14:58 CET on Tuesday, November 10. The quote is shown without a daily direction because no compatible Xetra closing basis was established for the comparison.
Production sets a high bar
The companys total oil, gas and natural-gas-liquids production reached 3.51 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in the third quarter. That was 11.7 percent above the year-earlier period and 5.3 percent above the second quarter, according to the operating figures cited in the earnings preview.
New production from the P-78 and P-79 platforms in the Buzios field, higher output at Mero and fewer maintenance-related losses supported the increase. Domestic refined-product sales rose 6.4 percent sequentially to 1.85 million barrels per day. Refinery utilization averaged 99 percent, while diesel production reached a quarterly record of 769,000 barrels per day.
Margins remain the main question
The operating momentum raises the prospect of stronger revenue, but higher volumes do not automatically translate into wider margins. The preview points to volatile Brent crude prices, currency movements, higher freight and logistics costs, planned refinery maintenance and continued diesel imports as factors that could weigh on profitability.
Analysts cited in the preview expect third-quarter earnings of 1.23 US dollars per ADS and revenue of 31.3 billion US dollars. The estimate for earnings was revised 1.7 percent higher over the previous 30 days, while the revenue forecast implied year-over-year growth of 33.3 percent. Those expectations leave the financial release as the next decisive test for whether production growth converted into cash generation and shareholder returns.
Next catalyst arrives after trading
Petrobras is expected to discuss the results during a webcast on Wednesday, November 11. Management commentary on crude pricing, refining economics, operating costs and capital allocation will be important for investors assessing whether the record production level can be sustained into 2027.
