The latest update is out from Banco Latinoamericano De Comercio ( (BLX) ).

On February 12, 2026, Bladex reported that net profit rose 9% year-on-year to $56.0 million, or $1.50 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 10% to $226.9 million, or $6.11 per share, for full-year 2025. The bank delivered adjusted ROE of 14.2% in 4Q25 and 15.8% in 2025 (15.4% including its September 2025 AT1 issue), supported by higher business volumes, stronger fee and trading income, and disciplined cost and risk management despite margin pressure from U.S. rate cuts.

Net interest income increased 6% in the quarter and 5% for the year, while fees and non-interest income jumped 57% and 54%, respectively, driven by record trade-finance and structuring activity and growing derivatives and secondary loan revenues. Bladex’s credit portfolio reached an all-time high of $12.6 billion with 98.2% in low-risk Stage 1, deposits surged 22% to $6.6 billion, liquidity remained strong, capital ratios stayed well above regulatory minimums, and the common dividend was raised 10% for 4Q25, signaling confidence in continued capital deployment and shareholder returns.

Spark’s Take on BLX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BLX is a Outperform.

The score is primarily supported by attractive valuation (low P/E and high dividend yield) and solid profitability/capital metrics, reinforced by a constructive earnings call with reaffirmed guidance and strong deposit and fee-income growth. The main constraints are uneven financial consistency (recent revenue decline and historically volatile cash flows) and only mixed technical momentum (negative MACD despite stable RSI/stochastic).
