What were Petrobras's adjusted EBITDA and year-on-year growth in Q2, and how did it compare to analyst expectations?

Petrobras reported adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of 93.8 billion reais ($18.4 billion) for the second quarter, an 80% increase from the same period a year earlier, and surpassing the Bloomberg consensus estimate of 91.3 billion reais.

How did geopolitical conflict—specifically the US-Iran tension—affect Petrobras's financial performance and operations in Q2?

Supply disruptions stemming from the US-Iran conflict drove up second-quarter crude, gasoline, and diesel prices, enabling Petrobras to outperform earnings expectations; the company also achieved record oil and natural gas production due to new wells at giant offshore fields and ran its refineries at unusually high utilization rates to bolster domestic fuel supplies.
