Why is Embraer stock sliding today?
Embraer stock fell 3.8% in pre-market trading following President Lula's election victory in Brazil, which triggered a selloff in Brazilian-exposed assets. Analysts also adjusted ratings, though not to sell. Embraer's Q3 backlog grew 14% YoY to $35.7B, with Executive Aviation at a record $8.2B. Earnings are due November 10.
