Rumo (RAIL3) presented its strategic plan for 2027–2031 at Perfin Day on November 10, 2026, with the goal of generating cash consistently over the five years. The company said it invested R$ 24.9 bi between 2021 and the first half of 2026, of which R$ 15.6 bi went to expansion of the North Operation.
The plan has four pillars: growth with profitability (volumes in line with the market and greater pricing power), productivity (more turnover, without increasing assets), culture of efficiency (a leaner organization and disciplined cost management), and capital discipline (capital allocated based on return criteria). The company also plans active management of regulated contracts and leadership compensation tied to cash, return, and TSR (total shareholder return).
Transported volume rose from 64.0 bi TKU (revenue tonne-kilometer) in 2021 to 90.7 bi TKU in the last 12 months through September 2026, growth of 7% per year. Asset turnaround at the Port of Santos fell from 19.7 hours in 2021 to 16.3 hours, and unloading went from 857 to 1,184 railcars per day.
Rumo holds a 43% market share in the transportation of soybeans, corn, and soybean meal in Mato Grosso and 58% in Santos. The contractual horizon of the Mato Grosso–Santos corridor is 2058. The Malha Oeste (1,974 km) has a concession through 2026, with a transitional amendment of up to 180 days limited to asset preservation. For the Malha Sul (7,224 km), the extension amendment through 2027 is under negotiation with the Granting Authority.
According to the presentation, Mato Grosso and Goiás are expected to increase production from 166 million to 203 million tonnes between 2026 and 2031, growth of 4.1% per year. Exports are expected to rise from 87 million to 98 million tonnes, growth of 2.5% per year.
