Net Income Jumps 39% QoQ
Q2 2026 net income reached AR$206.8 billion, up from AR$149.2 billion in Q1 2026, driven by lower loan-loss provisions and a smaller net monetary position loss.
-
Asset Quality Deteriorates
Non-performing loans to total financing rose to 6.25% from 5.40% in Q1, while the coverage ratio fell to 95.39% from 109.8%. Consumer NPLs worsened to 8.42%.
-
Restructuring Costs Hit Results
AR$21.9 billion in restructuring expenses (AR$14.2 billion after tax) were recorded for early retirement plans and severance. The bank closed 18 branches and reduced headcount by 1% in Q2.
-
Capital and Liquidity Remain Strong

Analysis · BMA · Finance
Banco Macro's second-quarter results show a sharp 39% sequential jump in net income to AR$206.8 billion, driven by lower loan-loss provisions and a smaller inflation-related loss. However, asset quality deteriorated meaningfully: the non-performing loan ratio climbed 85 basis points to 6.25%, and the coverage ratio fell to 95.4% from 109.8% in Q1. The bank also booked AR$21.9 billion in restructuring costs as it closed 18 branches and cut headcount by 1%. With excess capital of AR$4.1 trillion and a 28% capital adequacy ratio, the bank remains well-capitalized, but the rising credit stress in Argentina's consumer portfolio is the key risk to watch.
