Braskem SA ( (BAK) ) has issued an update.

Braskem has released its audited individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025, prepared under Brazilian accounting rules and IFRS and accompanied by an unmodified opinion from KPMG. The auditor concluded the statements fairly present Braskem’s financial position and performance, while highlighting a key audit focus on impairment testing for major petrochemical assets in Brazil, Mexico and the U.S.

KPMG drew attention to a material uncertainty about Braskem’s ability to continue as a going concern after the company posted a 2025 net loss of R$9.88 billion at the parent level and R$10.96 billion on a consolidated basis, with current liabilities exceeding total assets and equity turning deeply negative. The auditor also noted that impairment testing led to a substantial write-down at the Braskem Idesa petrochemical complex, underscoring the pressure on asset values and the heightened risks facing creditors, investors and other stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (BAK) stock is a Sell with a $2.80 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Braskem SA stock, see the BAK Stock Forecast page.
