Arcos Dorados upgraded to Buy with 27% upside potential after Brazil election selloff

Arcos Dorados, the McDonald's operator in Latin America, was upgraded from Hold to Buy with a 2027 price target of $11.30. This upgrade reflects renewed operational growth and undervaluation following a selloff after Brazil's elections, which impacted the stock. The company saw a return to visit-driven EBITDA growth in Q2, with currency effects playing a minor role. Key risks include Brazilian real volatility, rising beef costs, and margin pressure if customer traffic weakens or price increases lag competitors. Trading at 4.3x trailing EBITDA, Arcos Dorados offers over 27% upside potential if operational momentum continues.

Arcos Dorados is the subject of this update, providing context for readers interested in consumer cyclical stocks. Of 134 US consumer cyclical stocks priced on Pluang, 55 rose and 77 fell today. Notable movers include CAVA at USD 55.25 with a 6.54% increase and 100% buy order activity, JMKE at USD 18.07 up 6.52%, and ATER at USD 0.73 rising 6.48%, as of Oct 28, 2026 21:32 WIB.
