Unipar stock (ISIN BRUNIPACNPB8) closed at BRL 57.02 on B3 on October 2, up 1.26 percent. The move followed second-quarter figures showing revenue growth alongside a sharp sequential recovery in net income.

Revenue rises in the second quarter

According to TraderNews on September 28, 2026, Unipar reported second-quarter revenue of BRL 1.50 billion, 17 percent above the year-earlier quarter and 21 percent above the first quarter of 2026. Net income reached BRL 123 million, down 47 percent from the second quarter of 2025 but up 232 percent from the first quarter.

The operating recovery was visible in adjusted recurring EBITDA of BRL 402 million, which was 177 percent above the first quarter, according to TraderNews. The company therefore entered the second half with stronger quarterly cash generation, although the year-over-year profit comparison remained negative.

Consensus target stays above the share price

The analyst picture is more measured than the quarterly rebound. TraderNews reported on September 28, 2026, that two analysts rated the stock Hold, with a consensus target of BRL 64.00 and a target range of BRL 58.00 to BRL 70.00. Against the BRL 57.02 October 2 close, the average target lies 12.24 percent above the price.

That gap matters because Unipar operates in cyclical chlor-alkali and PVC markets. The company describes itself as a leading producer of chlorine and caustic soda and the second-largest PVC producer in South America on its Unipar investor-relations site. The second-quarter rebound improves the earnings base, but the 47 percent annual profit decline keeps margin recovery central to the investment case.

Stock sits near its yearly low

Unipar's 52-week range was BRL 55.00 to BRL 80.77 on the September 25 reference cited by TraderNews. The October 2 close stood BRL 2.02, or 3.67 percent, above the lower boundary and BRL 23.75 below the high.

Market capitalization was BRL 6.0 billion as of October 7, 2026, while the October 2 session volume was reported at 501,400 shares. The next scheduled checkpoint is the third-quarter results publication on November 12, 2026, as reported by TraderNews.

Unipar stock keeps a cautious setup

The BRL 64.00 consensus target offers a quantified recovery case, while the BRL 55.00 yearly low defines the nearby market reference. For investors, the next results must show whether the second-quarter earnings rebound can offset the weaker year-over-year profit base.
