Intermediate Triple whammy mai/26

MFII11: DPS -14%, MCEM11 zera dividing and unit -35% in the year — the triple whammy of May

Merit Development bled three times in 2026: cut DPS to R$ 0,91, saw 23% of the equity (MCEM11) suspend dividends due to SP Prefecture delay and lost 35% of the quotation in five months. P/VP on 0,55 is record discount. But sell or hold?

Quick Verdict — 19/05/2026

Who already has MFII11 with average price above R$ 80: supports if the horizon is 3+ years and accepts to receive irregular DPS (between R$ 0,80 and R$ 1,10) by 2027. Selling R$ 52,60 is crystallizing 35% of loss in a background whose VP is R$ 95,08. The market makes the worst case, not the average.

Who subscribed in October/2025 to R$ 80: He's been through a lot. Total result of the last 7 months = capital -34,3% + about R$ 6,30 in dividends received = net loss around 26%. There is no shortcut — it is to hold to recover via VP or crystallize damage.

Who's thinking of coming in now? 0,55 P/VP is the most aggressive discount in the history of the background. But 23% of equity is in MCEM11 without generating cash up to 2027, and the fund manager is delivering 17% below the guide he gave himself. The discount is fair to the risk — it is not obvious bargain.

For relevant new allocation: there are better options in the development bucket. LVBI11 and HOSI11 They're ahead in a note. MFII11 = KEEP, do not buy.

The Triple Whammy — Three Shots That Knocked Down the Quota

It was not an isolated event that played MFII11 from R$ 81 to R$ 52,60 in five months. There were three simultaneous blows, each one difficult to absorb alone. Together, they were massacred.

Strike 1
Cut DPS
R$ 1,06 → R$ 0,91 (-14,2%) in Apr/2026
Strike 2
MCEM11 zerou
23% of PL without dividing in 2026
Strike 3
Drawdown 35%
R$ 81 → R$ 52,60 in 5 months

Strike 1 — DPS cut to R$ 0,91 in April/2026

The MFII11 dividend had been running on R$ 1,06 between January and March 2026. In April, it fell to R$ 0,91 — 14,2% cut that took the market by surprise because the fund had delivered 5 works in 2025 (Barena before the deadline) and the expectation was to maintain the level.

Period DPS Difference
Jan/2026 R$ 1,06
Feb/2026 R$ 1,06 0,0%
Mar/2026 R$ 1,06 0,0%
Apr/2026 R$ 0,91 -14,2%

Annualizing the new level: R$ 0,91 × 12 = R$ 10,92 per unit. The fund manager has designed in the annual report R$ 13,15/unit for 2026. It's delivering 17% under its own guidance.

Strike 2 — MCEM11 suspended dividends in full in 2026

What happened: the MFII11 has 22,75% of net worth (R$ 149,9 million) invested in shares of the MCEM11 (Merit IFI Cemeterys). In 19/05/2026, MCEM11 management report 1T26 (document 1198995) confirmed: dividend distribution suspended in 2026. . The fixed cumulative dividend of R$ 8,04/year is accumulated for future payment, but the box does not flow.

Why did you lock it? the MCEM11 holds participation in Cortel SP Consortium — a 25-year concession to manage 5 cemeteries in São Paulo. The works of the Santo Amaro Cemetery were 100% completed in November/2025, but the São Paulo Prefecture delayed the survey and did not authorize the start of charging the maintenance fee (estimated revenue of R$ 30-40 Mi/year).

Direct impact on MFII11: 23% of equity without generating any cash until City Hall releases. Internal projection of the fund manager: resumed only in 2027.

Strike 3 — Drawdown of 35% in the year

Marco Quotation Cumulative change
January/2026 R$ 81,00 0%
March/2026 (pre-cut DPS) R$ 65,12 -19,6%
April/2026 (cut DPS announced) R$ 58,40 -27,9%
19/May/2026 (after MCEM11) R$ 52,60 -35,1%

The MCEM11 pump — 23% of equity in the hand of SP Prefecture

To understand why this news dropped the unit, you need to understand the anatomy of the exposure.

What is MCEM11

O MCEM11 (Mérito Cemeteries FII) is a fund of the same house that manages the MFII11 — Merit Investments. His thesis is simple: to hold participation in Cortel SP, which won in public concession the right to operate 5 municipal cemeteries in São Paulo for 25 years. The model combines:

  • Sale of fields and funeral services (initial receipt)
  • Annual maintenance fee charged for each field (long-term perpetual revenue)
  • Fixed cumulative dividend of R$ 8,04/unit/year for MCEM11 — structure designed to ensure predictability

Why the MFII11 has 23% in there

Merit sells itself as a fund manager vertically. . The MFII11 allocated 22,75% of the equity in MCEM11 units because, from the fund manager's point of view, it was exposed to the home vehicle itself with predictable and uncorrelated flow of residential works. Yeah. No longer — at least not in 2026.

What the City Hall Locked

The Santo Amaro Cemetery is the central asset of Cortel SP's initial thesis. Works completed in November/2025. To start charging the maintenance fee (estimated in R$ 30-40 Mi/year), the City Hall needs to do the survey and issue the formal acceptance.

The survey didn't leave in December/2025. It did not leave in January, February, March, April or May 2026. The official motive is bureaucratic. While it does not leave, MCEM11 cannot honor the promised cumulative dividend — it accumulates in the balance sheet for future payment, but the cashier does not flow today.

Numerical cost for MFII11 unit

Item Value
Total PL of MFII11 R$ 646,5 Mi
Position MCEM11 R$ 149,9 Mi (22,75%)
Dividing MCEM11 designed (R$ 8,04/year) ~R$ 14,4 Mi/year
Dividing effective MCEM11 in 2026 R$ 0
Impact on MFII11 DPS ~R$ 2,11/unit/year

Translating: about R$ 0,18 per unit per month stopped dripping on MFII11 just because of MCEM11. This already justifies much of the R$ 1,06 cut for R$ 0,91 in April.

The fund manager promised R$ 13,15 — is delivering R$ 10,92

In the 2025 annual report, Merit designed DPS of R$ 13,15/unit for 2026 based on the maturation of 5 works completed in 2025 plus 6 planned for 2026.

Difference per unit/year

The gap is didactic: of the missing R$ 2,23, about R$ 2,11 come directly from MCEM11 zeroed. That is — if the City Hall had fulfilled the schedule and the MCEM11 was paying, the MFII11 would be close to R$ 13/unit/year and the quotation would not be in R$ 52,60. The entire thesis of 2026 was held hostage by a municipal signature.

Track record saved — or is this the cycle that breaks confidence?

MFII11 has 13 years of history since IPO (March/2013), accumulating +312,5% total return — surpassing CDI and IFIX in the period. It has already gone through two relevant cycles of Lumpy DPS (2016 post-impeachment, 2020 pandemic) and in both returned to deliver above the curve when the works matured.

The argument "normal lampy cycle"

Those who defend the thesis point out that residential development is recognized revenue in delivery — not at the beginning of the work. Of the 14 projects in execution, 6 deliver in 2026 and the rest by 2028. The VGV landbank is of R$ 1,091 billion and the stock market adds R$ 907 million. When these works mature, the cashier drips. Merit is vertical, which historically meant speed of execution and controlled costs. Jarena's early delivery in 2025 reinforced that.

The argument "different cycle, different pain"

In 2016 and 2020, pain was macro — high Selic, market stalled. He solved the macro, the fund came back. In 2026, pain is idiosyncratic: has PL 23% stuck in a specific municipal bureaucratic problem, not in a market cycle. It settles when the SP Prefecture settles — not when the Central Bank cuts interest.

Add to this: administration rate of 2% + performance of 20% on CDI is expensive for the category. TGAR11 1,5% snake, PATC11 1,175% snake. At the time of pressured DPS, the rate weighs even more.

Position between development pairs

FII Note Differential
LVBI11 7,5 Logistics + development, stable DPS
HOSI11 6,5 Residential, thesis still intact
MFII11 5,9 Residential lampy + pump MCEM11

The uncomfortable truth about the MFII11 in May 2026

MFII11 is not going bankrupt. It has 33 assets, R$ 646,5 Mi of equity, R$ 1,091 Bi of VGV in the landbank, vertical fund manager with 13 years of history and positive DPS every month since the IPO. The P/VP of 0,55 is not precising collapse — it is precising delay.

But the fund manager who promised R$ 13,15/unit for 2026 is delivering R$ 10,92 and blames the São Paulo Prefecture. It might even be her fault. The problem is, who put 22,75% of equity in a single vehicle dependent on a municipal subscription was the fund manager, not the City Hall. . Concentration so high in asset with specific regulatory risk is allocation decision — and this decision cost the unit holders 35% of the quotation in five months.

MFII11 will redeliver R$ 1,00+/unit when MCEM11 unlocks and the 6 works of 2026 mature. What's uncertain is when. . The fund manager said 2026. Reality says 2027, maybe 2028.

The MFII11 won't break. It will take longer than the fund manager promised — and to charge the unit holder the patience he himself did not have by concentrating 23% of the equity in the queue of the municipal registry.
