Operates in real estate businesses.

• Analyst consensus expects sales growth to outpace historic levels, but this may be underestimated as Cury's intensified land acquisition strategy and the expansion of Minha Casa Minha Vida coverage to Bracket 4 should unlock multiyear double-digit volume growth, supporting structurally higher revenues.
  
• While the market anticipates stable or slightly rising margins, Cury's relentless focus on operational efficiency, cost controls, and premiumization of its sales mix through targeting higher-income brackets within affordable housing could result in outsized net margin expansion and a step-change in earnings power beyond consensus forecasts.
  
• Cury is set to disproportionately benefit from Brazil's persistent urbanization and the structural housing deficit in major cities, ensuring a sustained, long-term demand tailwind that could support both sales velocity and higher unit pricing, leading to durable revenue growth.
  
• Rapid adoption of digital and modular construction technologies-combined with Cury's track record of reinvesting in process automation-should further accelerate cost reductions, allowing not just margin preservation but margin outperformance versus peers over time.
  
• The strengthening of government-backed housing programs, increasing mortgage credit accessibility, and recurrent funding for Minha Casa Minha Vida indicate an expanding, more creditworthy customer base for Cury, underpinning future top-line growth and improved receivables quality, both of which bolster bottom-line performance.

Risks

• and middle-income buyers, risking future declines in sales volumes and operational cash flow generation.
