Agronegócio brasileiro em meio à turbulência provocada pela Covid-19: uma esperança para o mercado de capitais?
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of the COVID-19 crisis on the performance of the stocks of Brazilian agribusiness. Among the main activities of Brazilian agribusiness, grain production stands out worldwide. Thus, we selected the company SLC to represent this segment. And, from Thomson Reuters, we selected its peer companies: Ambev, JBS, BRF, Cosan Logística, Marfrig and São Martinho. We used the event study methodology and multivariate linear regression. The results showed that SLC performed well in the event window, while its peers experienced great volatility. The OLS regression confirmed that SLC was positively differentiated from other companies with daily trading in the period.
