Natura Cosmeticos SA jumped the most in over five years after the Brazilian beauty company announced the sale of its Avon International unit, a move that will remove a longstanding operational headache and allow the company to focus on its core brand and products.

The stock rose 16% in Sao Paulo on Thursday, its best session since March 2020, after Natura agreed to sellBloomberg Terminal Avon International to an acquisition vehicle affiliated with Regent.
