The 2026 Kantar BrandZ ranking for Brazil has identified six new entrants among the country’s most valuable brands: iFood, Smart Fit, Inter, Stone, Grupo Mateus, and Vivara. These companies achieved their rankings by expanding business categories, adopting new consumer relationship models, and aligning with cultural trends.

While these brands have seen value growth, the broader retail and consumer sectors face challenges from interest rate pressures. Analysis of 30 companies shows varying levels of financial strain; for example, CVC faces projected financial expenses of 23% of its 2026 revenue, whereas Magazine Luiza maintains much lower exposure at 3.5%. Although a reduction of the Selic rate to 14% per year may provide relief, highly indebted firms with narrow margins continue to require debt reduction and operational improvements to mitigate financial pressure.
