The Quick Take
- XP Investimentos added Direcional (DIRR3) at 5% weight to its September small cap portfolio on attractive valuation and MCMV exposure.
- Terra Investimentos maintains its 10-BDR international portfolio at equal 10% weights for September 2026.
- XP raised Petrobras (PETR4) to 12.5% in its dividend portfolio to boost oil and gas sector exposure.
XP Investimentos has released updated recommended portfolios for September 2026 across three categories: small caps, BDRs, and dividends. The small cap portfolio adds Direcional Engenharia (DIRR3) with a 5% allocation, supported by the analyst team's view that its attractive valuation multiple and direct exposure to the Minha Casa Minha Vida government housing program provides a structural growth catalyst. Brazil's social housing program has been a consistent demand driver for affordable homebuilders in the lower-income segment.
“XP raised Petrobras (PETR4) to 12.5% in its dividend portfolio to boost oil and gas sector exposure.”
Terra Investimentos maintained its September BDR portfolio at 10 stocks with equal 10% weights, reflecting stability in its international equity allocation despite ongoing Ibovespa volatility. Brazilian Depositary Receipts allow domestic investors to access multinational companies listed abroad while trading in reais, reducing currency risk. XP's dividend portfolio revision raises Petrobras (PETR4) from 10% to 12.5% weight, the single largest change, reflecting the analyst team's desire to increase oil and gas sector exposure amid elevated crude prices.
Watch Direcional's quarterly contract signings data as the primary validator of MCMV-driven small cap thesis, and Petrobras's dividend yield evolution as the free cash flow trajectory adjusts to current oil price levels. The macro variable is Brazil's Selic interest rate path: high rates compress small cap multiples and strengthen the dividend yield argument simultaneously, making the portfolio mix between DIRR3 and PETR4 particularly rate-sensitive in the current monetary environment.
