What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Petrobras posted lower-than-expected third-quarter earnings, despite achieving record oil and gas production and benefiting from high crude prices and strong refining margins. The company revised its capital expenditure target for 2026 to between $24 billion and $25.5 billion, up from $19.4 billion. The earnings miss was attributed to rising spending on offshore oil projects and a one-off export tax that cost the company $867 million.
