I reiterate my buy rating on Copel, emphasizing continued operational improvements post-privatization. ELP's robust cash generation, focus on core electricity business, and 100% renewable matrix drive efficiency and profitability. Despite higher EV/EBITDA multiples, I see potential for re-rating as ELP approaches global peer valuations, suggesting further upside.
