Banco BBVA Argentina shares are sliding after first-quarter 2024 results exposed weakening fundamentals, including a sharp drop in efficiency and a steep pullback in lending to the private sector in a high-inflation environment. Investors were rattled by a 53.7 percent quarter-over-quarter plunge in inflation-adjusted net income, underscoring growing pressure on profitability.
The sell-off accelerated as earnings per share came in at just 20 cents, missing analyst expectations even though revenue topped forecasts. That EPS disappointment, combined with signs of operational strain, has raised fresh doubts about the bank’s ability to navigate Argentina’s turbulent economic backdrop and sustain future earnings growth.
