Petrobras reported net income of BRL 52.4 billion (USD 10.4 billion) in the second quarter of 2026, up 97 percent from the same period in 2025. This is one of the highest quarterly results on record.

According to the company, the results were driven by record oil production of 2.7 million barrels per day, a refinery utilization rate of 101 percent, and export growth to nearly one million barrels per day.
