Frequently asked questions

Glossary

The terms you'll see most in the Terminal and the Arena, without the jargon.

CDI

The rate Brazilian banks charge each other for overnight loans. In practice it's the yardstick for fixed income: a CDB paying 100% of the CDI earns about the same as the Selic. It's the teams' opponent in the Arena.

Selic

Brazil's benchmark interest rate, set by the Central Bank's Copom every 45 days. When it goes up, fixed income pays more.

DY (dividend yield)

What a stock paid out over the last 12 months, divided by its price. A 6% DY means R$ 6 a year for every R$ 100, if the payouts repeat.

P/L (P/E)

Share price divided by earnings per share: how many years of current earnings you pay for the company. Lower doesn't mean cheaper; it depends on the sector and growth.

P/VP (P/B)

Share price divided by book value per share. Below 1, the market values the company at less than its book equity. Common for banks and REITs (FIIs).

LPA (EPS)

Earnings per share: net income divided by the number of shares. It's the E in P/E.

FII

A Brazilian real estate fund, like a REIT. It holds properties or real estate securities and pays out most of its income, usually every month. Units trade on B3 with tickers ending in 11, like HGLG11.

BDR

A receipt traded on B3 that represents shares of a foreign company, like Apple (AAPL34). You buy it in reais through a Brazilian broker.

ON, PN and Units

ON (ending in 3) are common shares, with voting rights. PN (ending in 4) are preferred shares: no vote, but priority on payouts. Units (ending in 11) bundle ON and PN shares that trade together.

52 weeks

The highest and lowest price over the last year. It shows where the price stands against its recent range.

JCP (interest on equity)

A Brazilian way for a company to pay out profit to shareholders, like a dividend. The difference is tax: JCP has 15% income tax withheld at source, so what lands in your account is the net amount.

Data com (record date)

The last day you need to hold the stock or fund unit to receive an announced payout. Anyone who buys from the next day (the ex-date) doesn't get that payment.
