In a press release, Petrobras head Jean Paul Prates attributed the record to the resumption of investments made by the new management over the past year. He stated, “The Petrobras that Brazilians are proud of and that the market admires is back.”
Petrobras’ Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer, Sérgio Leite, described the record as a “collective success” for the oil workers—the state-owned company’s employees.
“The record share price reinforces the company’s commitment to generating value for shareholders, customers, employees, and society as a whole. Petrobras remains committed to its mission of supplying energy in a safe, responsible, and sustainable way, maintaining its prominent position in the global market,” he concluded.
