On Thursday, Petrobras announced that it will distribute R$ 8.1 billion in dividends to its shareholders based on the results of the fourth quarter of 2025, which have yet to be released. This payout is part of a larger total of R$ 41.2 billion in dividends for the year, reflecting the company’s commitment to its dividend policy which allocates 45% of free cash flow for distribution when net debt is below target levels.

The market anticipates a profit increase for Petrobras in 2025, expecting improvement from the previous year when the company's financial performance was adversely affected by accounting effects related to the devaluation of the Brazilian real against the dollar. Petrobras indicated that the announced dividend distribution aligns with its shareholder remuneration policies and ensures the financial sustainability of the company while rewarding investors for their support.

In 2025, Petrobras achieved record production and exports, with daily figures showing production of 3 million barrels of oil and gas, and 765 thousand barrels of oil exported. Despite facing a challenging market environment at the start of 2026, with declining prices, the outlook for Petrobras remains focused on maintaining its operational performance and fulfilling its commitment to shareholder dividends in the future.
