Low-income real estate developers in Brazil, including Cury, Direcional, MRV, Plano&Plano, and Tenda, have seen an average stock price decline of 18% over a three-month period. 

This downturn is linked to a more difficult environment for the Minha Casa Minha Vida program, caused by stricter credit approval criteria from Caixa Econômica Federal and delays in contract transfers resulting from employee strikes. While BTG Pactual analysts reduced earnings per share estimates for certain companies like MRV and Plano&Plano due to leverage and margin concerns, they maintained ‘buy’ recommendations, suggesting the market is overly pessimistic and noting that the stocks remain attractive due to high dividend yields and low price-to-earnings ratios.
