Galliano's Financials Research

Itausa SA has acquired a 10.3% stake in toll road company CCR in a diversification move away from its core financial holdings which still account for 90%+. Itausa’s stated NAV discount is over 26%, and Victor Galliano believes this discount is under-estimated. Itausa’s indirect XP stake adds to the NAV, implying a discount of close to 28%. Reinvesting the proceeds of disposals in CCR makes good diversification sense; aside from the historically high NAV discount, Itausa has an attractive LTM dividend yield of over 5%.
