Localiza stock reported second-quarter revenue of BRL 12.33 billion, up 24.5 percent from the year-earlier period. The result puts operating growth beside a scheduled shareholder payment and a market valuation of BRL 52.7 billion.

Revenue growth leads the results

According to A Revista on September 25, 2026, Localiza posted BRL 12.33 billion in consolidated revenue for Q2 2026, a 24.5 percent year-over-year increase. Net income reached BRL 1.003 billion, while EBITDA rose 14.0 percent to BRL 3.76 billion.

The figures show a useful split for investors: revenue expanded faster than EBITDA, while earnings growth was supported by vehicle rental, used-car sales and operational efficiency. The company invested BRL 11.89 billion in fleet during the quarter, up 77.2 percent from the comparable period, according to A Revista.

Debt remains the counter-factor

Net debt reached BRL 32.4 billion in Q2 2026, compared with BRL 31.3 billion a year earlier. The ratio of net debt to EBITDA nevertheless improved from 2.36 times to 2.16 times, indicating that operating growth partly offset the higher nominal debt balance.

This balance sheet trade-off is central to the next earnings readout. Higher fleet investment can support rental capacity and used-car supply, but financing costs remain important while debt stays above the prior-year level.

Payment date set for November

Localiza approved gross interest on equity of BRL 614,914,358.34, equal to BRL 0.556580414 per common share. El Fondo reported on September 22, 2026, that the payment is scheduled for November 18, 2026, for shareholders registered on September 25, 2026.

The shares began trading without entitlement to that payment on September 28, 2026. Localiza's next scheduled results release is November 5, 2026, after the market close, according to the company's investor-relations calendar.

RENT3 stays below its yearly high

RENT3 was last at BRL 49.98 on B3 on October 6, 2026, at 5:05 p.m. BRT, down 0.16 percent from the prior close of BRL 50.06. The session range was BRL 49.32 to BRL 52.03, with volume of 22,759,600 shares.

The stock's 52-week range was BRL 31.74 to BRL 53.35 on October 6, 2026. Localiza's market capitalization was BRL 52.7 billion on the same date, leaving the next results release as the key checkpoint for testing whether earnings growth can continue to outpace balance sheet pressure.
