GEPA3 - Geração Paranapanema

Although with a high P/E, depreciation is very huge and investments low, wich gives a FCF yield of 11%.
All the concessions are due after 2029.
May be a good option, but more study is necessary.

If the investment is low, why the sudden increase in debt recently? To pay dividends?

I don't know, I said that more study was necessary.
But looking at the graph, you can see that GEPA has about 100% payout since a long time and even so net debt has been decreasing since then, except for the last quarter.
Company says that:
"
A dívida líquida, representada pelos empréstimos e financiamentos e debêntures deduzidos os
recursos de caixa e equivalentes de caixa, totalizou R$ 626.864, 56,8% superior aos R$
399.797 no mesmo período no ano anterior. A elevação da divida líquida deve-se à redução do
capital social da Companhia no montante de R$ 360.000, efetivada em janeiro de 2011"

I think they bought back some shares, that's why the debt increased without increasing the payout.
