Thesis Summary

Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (Cemig) presents a compelling investment opportunity combining attractive valuation, robust dividend payouts, and a highly focused capital expenditure program. Despite recent market volatility driven by external macroeconomic and weather factors, Cemig's core operational strengths in generation, transmission, and distribution remain intact. The company is executing a massive R$ 44 billion investment program from 2026 to 2030, primarily focused on its core business in Minas Gerais. With the recent appointment of career engineer Alexandre Ramos Peixoto as CEO and the financial leadership of Andrea Marques de Almeida, Cemig is well-positioned to navigate regulatory changes and drive long-term shareholder value.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$1.91

Adverse political intervention following state elections, severe drought conditions restricting hydroelectric output, or execution delays in major transmission and distribution projects.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$2.14
Matches the consensus mean

Steady execution of the 2026–2030 strategic plan, maintaining a healthy leverage profile (Net Debt/EBITDA around 2.45x), and consistent dividend distributions. Valuation normalizes slightly as market concerns over political risks subside.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$2.50

Accelerated execution of the R$ 44 billion investment plan, favorable hydrological conditions leading to strong hydroelectric generation margins, and potential regulatory or political developments favoring privatization or increased operational autonomy. This scenario assumes multiple expansion toward sector medians.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.
