Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Credicorp ( (BAP) ) has issued an update.

In the first quarter of 2026, Credicorp posted record net income of S/2,063 million, a 16.1% year-on-year increase that lifted return on equity to 21.1%, driven by broad-based strength across banking, microfinance and digital businesses. Loan volumes rose 8.2% year-on-year and deposits climbed 13.3%, while net interest income grew 10.9% and margins remained robust, reflecting lower funding costs and solid demand in Peru’s improving macro environment.

Asset quality improved, with the non-performing loan ratio falling to 4.3% and cost of risk down to 1.3%, as provisions declined on better payment behavior in retail portfolios and reversals in wholesale banking. The group’s innovation portfolio, led by Yape, generated 9% of risk-adjusted revenues, supporting a record level of core income, while a stable efficiency ratio of 45.8% and strong capital at BCP and Mibanco underpinned a record ordinary dividend and a refreshed board that adds technology and governance expertise for shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (BAP) stock is a Buy with a $408.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Credicorp stock, see the BAP Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on BAP Stock

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

The score is driven primarily by strong fundamental profitability and improving balance sheet metrics, supported by a constructive earnings outlook with maintained guidance and strong Q1 execution. Valuation is supportive with a moderate P/E and attractive dividend yield, while the main constraint is mixed technical momentum and the noted cash-flow volatility/risk normalization factors.
