Action:Reiterated
Date:05/15/26
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.
Positive Factors
Diversified financial franchise
Credicorp’s wide portfolio across banking, insurance, pensions, microfinance and asset management creates durable revenue diversification. Multiple high-quality subsidiaries reduce single-market earnings concentration, smoothing cyclical shocks and supporting stable cash generation and capital allocation over the medium term.
Negative Factors
Cash‑flow and provisioning volatility
Wide swings in operating and free cash flow and inconsistent cash‑to‑earnings coverage reduce predictability of internal funding and dividend sustainability. Volatile cash flows can force reliance on markets in stress periods, amplifying risk through the cycle and complicating capital planning for multi‑year investments.

(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |

Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a predominantly positive operational and financial performance: record net income and ROE, robust loan growth, improved asset quality, expanding digital revenues (notably Yape), and disciplined capital returns. Management balanced these achievements with clear acknowledgment of near-term risks — inflation, election uncertainty, El Niño/weather impacts, higher operating and innovation investments, and some one-off drivers to asset-quality improvements. Guidance was maintained (loans ~8.5% growth, NIM 6.4–6.7%, ROE ~19.5% target with potential to be on the upper side), reflecting confidence but prudent caution given external uncertainties.Positive Updates
