Analysis · BBD · Finance
Bradesco delivered its tenth straight quarter of rising net income, with recurring profit hitting R$7.1 billion — a 16.2% jump from a year ago. Revenue held up despite a tough macro backdrop, and the loan book expanded 11.6% while keeping credit costs in check. The insurance arm posted a standout 28.3% earnings surge. Capital ratios remain comfortably above regulatory floors, and management reaffirmed full-year guidance. This is a solid print that shows the bank's transformation plan is gaining traction, though rising NPLs in the MSME segment and a challenging rate environment warrant watching.
