Bradesco BBI cautions that Brazilian equities appear cheap but may constitute a value trap, attributing the recent decline not to deteriorating corporate profits but to an increase in the cost of capital. The warning suggests that low valuations could persist or fall further if capital costs remain elevated, posing risks for investors seeking bargains. The analysis implies a cautious stance on Brazilian risk assets amid a higher discount rate environment.
