Taesa (TAEE11) shares surged as much as 5% on Wednesday (November 12, 2025) following strong Q3 2025 earnings and a generous dividend announcement. The stock became one of the top gainers on Brazil's B3 exchange, peaking at R$44.59 intraday before settling at a 3.35% gain by midday. Here's a DEEP dive into the numbers and what three major analysts recommend for investors.
Why Taesa Shares Are Rallying
The energy transmission company reported regulatory net income of R$323 million for July-September 2025, marking a 5.2% year-over-year increase. Their regulatory EBITDA hit R$549 million - beating the R$515 million consensus estimate by 6.6% and showing 12.6% annual growth. The company also announced R$323 million in shareholder returns, split between interim dividends (R$178.8 million) and interest on equity (R$144.5 million), payable January 28, 2026.
Analyst Reactions to the Earnings Report
called the results "in line with expectations" despite EBITDA coming 1% below their estimates. Analysts Raul Cavendish and Bruno Vidal noted: "Taesa remains essentially a dividend and leverage story, but we see challenges ahead in maintaining high payouts while funding R$2.2 billion in capex commitments and reducing leverage to 3.0-3.5x." They maintain a Neutral rating with a R$32.70 target (-22.9% downside).
described the quarter as "solid" with controlled costs but issued a Sell recommendation based on valuation concerns. Their R$32.20 price target implies 24.1% downside from Tuesday's close.
analysts highlighted the company's reduced leverage (4.7x net debt/EBITDA vs 4.9x in Q2) but still recommend selling shares, projecting 17.5% downside to their R$35 target.
The Dividend Dilemma
Taesa currently offers a 2.6% real internal rate of return (TIR), significantly below Brazil's 7.1% long-term sovereign rates. As XP analysts observed: "The stock has historically traded on short-term dividend expectations rather than future cash Flow value. While this worked for years, we see inflection point risks in the medium term."
Technical Perspective
According to TradingView data, TAEE11 broke through its 50-day moving average during Wednesday's rally but faces strong resistance NEAR R$45. The stock's 14-day RSI at 62 suggests it's approaching overbought territory after the earnings pop.
What Should Investors Do Now?
With all three covering analysts recommending selling or avoiding Taesa shares, retail investors might consider taking profits after the earnings-driven surge. However, income-focused investors could hold for the January dividend payment, remembering that shares will trade ex-dividend on November 15, 2025.
