Catalysts

• While analysts broadly agree that focusing on high-margin, upper-middle and luxury developments will steadily increase gross and net margins, the exceptional absorption rates and strong pipeline of projects already 70-77% pre-sold before delivery suggest margin expansion may significantly outpace consensus, driving sharp near-term boosts to ROE and earnings.

• The company's strong cash position and conservative leverage create the opportunity for aggressive land acquisition during a period of market dislocation, enabling Even to scoop premium sites at favorable terms and lock in long-term gross profit expansion, far exceeding sector peers.

Even Construtora e Incorporadora Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• Even's strong geographic concentration in São Paulo, especially in high-end and luxury segments, leaves it heavily exposed to local economic downturns or tightening of construction regulations, which could depress revenues and profitability if the city underperforms or faces adverse regulatory changes.
  
• Persistent or increasing inflation and construction costs, combined with long project delivery timelines and increasing regulatory environmental requirements, could erode Even's gross and net margins over time, making sustained earnings growth more challenging.
  
• Long-term rising interest rates and more restrictive real estate credit environments in Brazil may steadily reduce mortgage affordability and residential demand, directly impacting Even's future sales volumes and causing potential stagnation or decline in revenues.
  
• The company's limited diversification beyond upscale residential projects and uneven expansion into commercial or mixed-use segments increases its vulnerability to cyclical slowdowns in the luxury housing market, posing a risk to earnings consistency and margin improvement.
  
• Advancements in construction technology, intensifying sector competition, and the risk of management missteps in land bank allocation or capital deployment could result in higher capital expenditures or underperforming assets, adversely affecting returns on equity and putting pressure on future earnings.
