A few days after losing $14 billion in market value, Brazil’s state-run oil company, Petrobras, said it may dole out a special dividend after all, CEO Jean-Paul Prates said Monday, which could be the subject of a vote during April’s meeting of shareholders. Brazil's shares crashed on Friday, shaving $14 billion off the company’s market value after it disappointed investors by skimping on its dividend, with the ramifications spilling beyond Petrobras and into the wider Brazilian stock market.
