Companhia de Saneamento Basico
Companhia de Saneamento Basico (SBS) is a Brazilian water and sewage utility that provides potable water, sewage collection and treatment, and related services to a large population base. With a market capitalisation of about $16.52 billion, SBS typically exhibits the defensive characteristics common to regulated utilities: predictable demand, recurring revenue and potential for steady cash generation. Revenue and profitability are shaped by tariff-setting frameworks, regulatory reviews and capital expenditure cycles required to maintain and expand networks. Key considerations for investors include regulatory and political risk, exposure to weather events (droughts can reduce volumetric sales), and the company’s ongoing capex needs which can affect free cash flow and dividend capacity. While utilities can offer income and lower volatility relative to broader markets, values can rise and fall and returns are not guaranteed.
