Brazilian construction giants Cyrela, Cury, and Plano & Plano released their Q3 2025 operational previews, and the market wasted no time reacting. Analysts praised the consistent performance of these mid-to-low-income housing specialists but noted signs of moderation in some metrics. Cyrela’s diversified portfolio impressed, Cury’s cash Flow stole the show, and Plano & Plano’s launches exceeded expectations—though sales lagged slightly. Here’s a deep dive into the numbers and what they mean for investors.
How Did Cyrela (CYRE3) Perform in Q3 2025?
Cyrela’s Q3 results were a textbook example of steady execution. BTG Pactual called the numbers "solid," aligning with their bullish estimates. The bank maintained a "buy" rating with a R$32 target (9.6% upside from R$29.20). Highlights included R$3.55B in net sales (+11% YoY), split across high-end (R$2.16B), mid-range (R$423M), and affordable housing (R$960M). Their R$5.05B project launches beat BTG’s forecast by 3%, showcasing resilience in a tricky macroeconomic climate. "Demand for Cyrela’s products remains healthy despite headwinds in premium segments," noted BTG’s team. For context, Brazil’s interest rate hovered at 10.75% in September 2025, pressuring luxury real estate—yet Cyrela’s diversified model cushioned the blow.
Why Did Cury (CURY3) Stand Out This Quarter?
Cury’s cash FLOW fireworks dominated the conversation. Itaú BBA highlighted a "robust" R$233M free cash flow (FCF) in Q3, alongside strong launches (R$1.99B VP) and a 52% sales rate for new projects. Trading at just 6.8x 2026 P/E, CURY3 looks tempting with a R$43 target (Itaú’s "buy" call). Fun fact: Cury’s "impeccable execution" (their words, not mine) has become a meme among Brazilian traders—like the "Michael Jordan of homebuilders," as one BTCC analyst joked. Their secret? Laser focus on mid-income housing, where demand outstrips supply by 2:1 in São Paulo’s metro areas, per TradingView data.
Plano & Plano (PLPL3): Record Launches but Sales Dip—What Gives?
Plano & Plano’s R$2.14B launches smashed BTG’s estimates by 45% (a 99% YoY spike!), but net sales of R$1.02B missed by 9%. The twist? A R$138M receivables sale boosted cash flow to R$109M; otherwise, they’d have burned R$29M. BTG isn’t sweating it: "We expect a Q4 rebound," they wrote, keeping their R$23 target (21% upside) and "buy" rating. Worth noting: PLPL3 trades at a bargain 5x 2026 P/E—half the sector average. As my uncle in construction always says, "Cheap stocks are like fixer-uppers: either you get a steal or a money pit." Here, the foundation looks solid.
FAQ: Your Burning Questions Answered
What’s the key takeaway from these previews?
All three firms show strength in Brazil’s affordable housing boom, but with nuances: Cyrela’s diversity insulates it, Cury prints cash, and Plano & Plano’s growth story remains intact despite a sales hiccup.
Which stock has the highest upside?
BTG’s targets suggest PLPL3 (21% upside) leads, followed by CYRE3 (9.6%) and CURY3 (implied ~15% from current R$37.40). But remember—targets aren’t guarantees.
How reliable are these previews vs. full earnings?
Previews lack detailed margins and debt metrics. Wait for full reports (due late October) before major moves. As always, this isn’t investment advice—just one analyst’s hot take.
