Locaweb stock (ISIN BRLWSAACNOR8) gained 12.47 percent to BRL 4.51 on the B3 on October 5, 2026, as the company entered the market's view with stronger second-quarter earnings. The Q2 figures show net income of BRL 34.3 million and consolidated net revenue of BRL 375.2 million, according to Valor in its report on Q2 2026 results.

Q2 profit rises 117.1 percent

The earnings release coverage identifies a sharp improvement in profitability. Net income rose 117.1 percent from BRL 15.8 million in Q2 2025 to BRL 34.3 million in Q2 2026, while revenue increased from BRL 370.8 million to BRL 375.2 million over the same period, according to Valor.

The operating result also moved higher, reaching BRL 40.3 million in Q2 2026 against BRL 35.2 million a year earlier. That combination gives the stock a more specific earnings driver than the price move alone, although the company still carried a negative net margin of 13.29 percent through June 30, 2026, according to TradeMap.

XP lifts target to BRL 5.00

Analyst attention has also turned more constructive. XP Investimentos raised its end-2026 price target to BRL 5.00 from its previous level and changed its recommendation to Buy in an update dated September 29, 2026. Its published reference price was BRL 3.99, implying 25.31 percent upside to the target at that time.

For investors, the key question is whether the Q2 profit improvement can become a recurring feature of the business. XP cited better operational execution and capital allocation, while identifying competition in commerce, customer churn and the integration of acquisitions as risks.
