Action:ReiteratedDate:02/18/26
Overall score is driven primarily by strong fundamentals (profitability recovery, improving leverage) and a positive earnings outlook (stable NIM, growth guidance, improving asset quality, strong capital and dividend intent). Valuation is supportive with a moderate P/E and solid yield. The main offsets are cash-flow volatility and mixed near-term technical momentum.
Positive Factors
Profitability Improvement
Sustained margin expansion and strong operating profitability reflect improved core banking and insurance economics, driving durable return on equity. Higher margins give flexibility to absorb credit cycles, support dividend capacity and reinvestment in strategic initiatives over the medium term.
Negative Factors
Historical Leverage & Earnings Sensitivity
Although leverage has improved materially, the bank’s historically high leverage and still‑meaningful balance sheet gearing can amplify earnings volatility and credit losses in downturns. This structural sensitivity constrains downside resilience and requires ongoing capital management to sustain growth.

Credicorp Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 12, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 14, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a constructive outlook: clear loan growth momentum (double-digit at BCP/Mibanco), improving asset quality, stable NIM expectations, growing fee income, strong capital buffer and a shareholder-friendly dividend approach. Manageable idiosyncratic issues were highlighted (Ruta del Lima exposure is small and largely provisioned) and a material external risk in Bolivia (FX/devaluation) is explicitly incorporated into consolidated guidance. Short-term macro supports (pension withdrawals) are positive, with longer-term pension-system concerns noted. Overall, positive operational momentum and capital strength outweigh the identified risks.Positive Updates
Overall Loan Growth Guidance
Credicorp guidance of ~8.5% loan growth for 2026 for the consolidated group; BCP and Mibanco alone are expected to deliver double-digit loan growth, and at constant exchange rates BCP+Mibanco growth is around 11%.
Negative Updates
Bolivia FX and Sovereign/Local Book Headwind
The Bolivia loan book poses a material FX/devaluation risk that is explicitly included in the consolidated 8.5% guidance; a potential devaluation could materially reduce Credicorp's consolidated loan growth when it materializes.

Company Guidance
Management guided 2026 loan growth for Credicorp at around 8.5% (this is a group-wide number that includes Yape and a Bolivia FX headwind; excluding Bolivia and at constant FX BCP + Mibanco are expected to grow in double digits — roughly 11%), with NIM expected to remain in the mid- to high‑6% range and fee income to grow at low double digits; asset quality is improving and cost of risk is expected to remain within target. They noted pension withdrawals of PEN25 billion (BCP captured a little north of PEN11 billion) could lift GDP by up to ~0.4% if fully consumed, add ~0.5% to deposits/local funding in 2026 while potentially subtracting ~0.4% from credit, and Yape’s loan book is expected to roughly triple over the next couple of years (still a small share of group loans). Capital metrics are healthy (group CET1 ~14%, Mibanco ~17%) with internal targets of ~11% for BCP and ~14.5% for Mibanco and excess capital to be repatriated to the holding for dividends in March; Ruta del Lima exposure is <1% of the portfolio, ~80% provisioned with an expected near‑term recovery of ~5–10% of the bond and possible longer‑term arbitration upside, and cost‑to‑income is expected to fall (upper guidance below this year’s result) while continued investment in digital initiatives will persist.Credicorp Financial Statement Overview
