JPMorgan adjusted its target price for the Brazilian railway operator Rumo from R$ 20 to R$ 19.50, maintaining a neutral recommendation. The bank noted that a potential sale of a 20% to 30% stake by parent company Cosan could serve as a positive catalyst, with proposals expected in September.

Following these developments, Fitch Ratings affirmed Rumo’s long-term foreign and local currency ratings at ‘BB+’ and ‘AAA(bra)’, respectively. While Fitch removed a previous negative watch, it assigned a negative outlook to the company’s corporate ratings. This outlook is attributed to Rumo’s credit profile being capped by Cosan’s ‘BB-’ rating. Despite this, Rumo maintains a strong business position with robust operational cash flow and high liquidity, with leverage projected to remain limited through 2028.
