Telefonica Brasil ( (VIV) ) has provided an update.

On February 20, 2026, Telefônica Brasil’s board met remotely in São Paulo and unanimously agreed to terminate its existing 2025–2026 share buyback program, which had been approved in February 2025. In its place, directors approved a new buyback plan that allows the company to more actively manage its capital structure in line with current market conditions.

The new 2026–2027 program, which runs from February 23, 2026 to February 22, 2027, authorizes the repurchase of up to 42,861,656 common shares on B3 at market prices, using up to R$1.0 billion from statutory reserves and current-year income. Shares acquired may be held in treasury, cancelled, or sold, underscoring management’s intent to use excess cash to enhance shareholder value and optimize capital allocation without reducing the company’s capital stock.

The most recent analyst rating on (VIV) stock is a Sell with a $14.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Telefonica Brasil stock, see the VIV Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on VIV Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, VIV is a Outperform.

Telefonica Brasil’s strong financial performance and positive technical indicators are the primary drivers of the stock’s high score. The earnings call further supports this with robust growth in key areas and a commitment to shareholder value. Valuation is reasonable, though not a standout factor. Prepaid revenue challenges are a minor concern.
