Americanas (ISIN BRAMERACNOR6) had completed the fifth transfer in a Hortifruti Natural da Terra sale involving 10 stores for BRL 69.30 million by October 7, 2026. According to Times Brasil on October 8, 2026, the transaction is part of the retailer's court-supervised restructuring and the assets are being transferred to Oba Hortifruti.

Recovery plan gets cash

The latest transfer brought BRL 1.88 million in cash, rounded from BRL 1.875 million, while the remaining amount is due in 24 monthly installments. The proceeds, after transaction costs, are intended for extraordinary amortization of debentures from Americanas' 22nd issuance, according to Times Brasil on October 8, 2026. Five of the 10 stores covered by the agreement had therefore changed hands.

Chronology of asset sales

On May 13, 2026, Americanas signed the BRL 69.30 million agreement covering 10 Hortifruti stores, as reported by Times Brasil. On September 16, 2026, the retailer advanced the sale of three Rio de Janeiro properties with binding offers totaling BRL 129.90 million, according to Forbes. On October 7, 2026, the fifth Hortifruti transfer was completed.

What does the sale mean for liquidity?

The property process adds a larger potential cash source to the smaller store sale. ADVFN reported on September 17, 2026 that the property proposals set a BRL 129.92 million minimum inflow, with BRL 95.00 million tied to Laranjeiras and BRL 34.92 million to properties in Tijuca and Freguesia do Engenho Velho.

Next dates for the plan

The sealed-bid property hearing is scheduled for October 22, 2026, according to Forbes. The first installment for the latest Hortifruti transfer is due on November 15, 2026, under the payment schedule described by Times Brasil.

Second-quarter loss keeps pressure high

Americanas reported BRL 3.30 billion in revenue and a BRL 274.00 million net loss for the second quarter of 2026. The revenue figure was down 14.10 percent year over year, while the net margin was minus 8.30 percent, according to OBM. Asset sales therefore address liquidity and debt reduction while operating profitability remains a central measure of the restructuring's progress.
