Visão geral da empresa
Agricultural inputs retailer Lavoro Ltd, listed under the ticker LVRO, operates through three primary segments: Brazil Ag Retail, Latam Ag Retail, and Crop Care. The company specializes in the distribution of essential agricultural products, including crop protection agents, seeds, fertilizers, foliar fertilizers, biologicals, adjuvants, and organominerals. This business model places the firm within the Basic Materials sector, specifically the Agricultural Inputs industry, where it functions as a critical link in the supply chain supporting regional farming operations. The company demonstrates significant scale with a market capitalization of $34.95M and an annualized revenue of $8.33B, supported by an employee base of 3767. These financial metrics indicate that despite a relatively modest market cap, the entity generates substantial top-line revenue, suggesting a potential mismatch between stock valuation and operational scale or significant balance sheet liabilities affecting investor perception.

The company reported revenue of $8.33B over the trailing twelve months, yet it posted a net income of $-2,178,102,016, revealing a cost structure where expenses substantially exceed operating revenues. The EBITDA stands at $-1,051,790,016, which further highlights the severity of operational losses relative to the massive revenue base. Free cash flow is listed as N/A, indicating a lack of available cash generation from operations after capital expenditures, which severely limits financial flexibility for debt repayment or strategic acquisitions. Gross margin is 14.7%, showing that for every dollar of sales, the company retains approximately 15 cents before operating expenses are deducted. However, the operating margin is -43.6% and the profit margin is -26.2%, indicating that operating expenses are consuming the majority of gross profit and that the bottom line remains deeply negative. Cash on hand totals $279.56M, while total debt reaches $2.28B, creating a scenario where liquidity is insufficient to cover total liabilities without external financing. The debt-to-equity ratio is N/A, which often occurs when equity values are negligible or negative due to accumulated losses, preventing a standard leverage calculation. The current ratio is 0.89, suggesting that current assets fall short of current liabilities, which points to potential short-term liquidity challenges in meeting obligations due within the next year. Return on Equity is -252.9% and Return on Assets is -7.5%, metrics that reveal management has struggled to generate returns on the capital invested or utilized to fund operations, reflecting significant inefficiency in deploying resources to create value for shareholders.
Avaliação de valorização
The P/E Ratio (TTM) is N/A due to the negative net income, while the Forward P/E is -0.71, implying that earnings are expected to remain negative in the near future rather than indicating a growth premium. The price-to-book ratio is -0.52, a negative figure that indicates the market is valuing the company below its book value, often seen in distressed firms or those with significant intangible assets not fully captured on the balance sheet. The price-to-sales ratio is 0.00, suggesting that the stock price is priced at a fraction of its sales, while the EV/EBITDA stands at -2.05, further confirming the difficulty in valuing the firm using traditional multiple approaches. The 52-week high is $4.68 and the 52-week low is $0.12, meaning the stock has experienced extreme volatility and currently trades well below its peak, reflecting investor caution. The beta is 0.57, indicating that the stock is less volatile than the broader market, as it tends to move only about 57% as much as the market index in response to systemic risks.
Growth & Income
Revenue growth year-over-year is -24.5%, while earnings growth is N/A due to the lack of positive earnings history to compare against. The contraction in revenue suggests a decline in sales volume or pricing power, and the absence of positive earnings growth reinforces the company's struggle to stabilize profitability. The company does not pay dividends, as evidenced by a dividend yield of N/A and a payout ratio of 0.0%, meaning all earnings, however negative, are effectively retained or used to service debt rather than distributed to shareholders. Consequently, the overall growth and income profile is characterized by negative revenue momentum and a complete absence of income distribution, presenting a challenging outlook for investors seeking capital appreciation or yield from this specific asset class.
