â–˛(2.04% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:06/06/26
The score is held back primarily by weak financial quality—especially persistently negative operating and free cash flow and high leverage—alongside bearish technical signals (below major moving averages and negative MACD). These risks are partly offset by relatively attractive valuation (low P/E) and a high dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Diversified business model & cross-selling
Bradesco's mix of net interest income, recurring fees, insurance/pension results and treasury activities creates multiple, semi-independent earnings streams. This breadth and a large distribution footprint enable durable cross‑sell, reducing reliance on any single cycle and supporting more stable revenues over months.
Negative Factors
Persistently negative operating and free cash flow
Large, sustained negative OCF and FCF erode internal funding capacity and increase reliance on external financing or capital actions. Over several months this constrains discretionary investments, limits buffer for credit stress, and elevates the importance of maintaining access to wholesale markets and capital measures.

Banco Bradesco SA Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 05, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 05, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented a strong operational and financial progress story: recurring net income, ROAE, digital adoption, SME share gains, NII and capital markets growth, and a high‑performing insurance business were prominent positives. Management is investing heavily in technology and transformation (22% higher tech spend) which supports medium‑term productivity gains but kept near‑term operating expenses elevated. Capital (CET1) is being actively managed but faces regulatory/prudential headwinds and the bank signaled possible short‑term volatility from elections and market expectations. Overall, the highlights — material earnings growth, improving efficiency, robust digital and SME traction and strong insurance results — meaningfully outweigh the lowlights tied to higher OpEx, capital monitoring and some product‑level tradeoffs.Positive Updates
Strong recurring net income and ROAE
Recurring net income of BRL 6.5 billion in Q4 (+20.6% YoY) and BRL 24.7 billion for the full year (+26.1% YoY); ROAE reached 15.2% in the quarter, exceeding cost of capital.
Negative Updates
Operating expense growth and near-term cost pressure
Operating expenses increased +8.5% YoY (or +7.2% excl. EloPar and Cielo); drivers include higher technology spending (+22% YoY), increased profit‑sharing/variable compensation and some one‑time marketing/advertising choices, meaning OpEx growth remains above some analysts' expectations.

Company Guidance
The company reiterated 2026 guidance for continued revenue and balance-sheet growth: expanded loan portfolio growth roughly in the mid-to-high single digits (management cited ranges around ~8.5%–10.5% and referenced ~9.5% as a planning point), operating expenses guided to grow about 8% (with ~3% of that attributable to technology investments and the remainder roughly in line with inflation/personnel), CET1 capital expected to be around 11% through 2026, and interest on equity budgeted above BRL 15 billion. Management expects continued ROAE improvement from the Q4 2025 level of 15.2% and reiterated targets to raise scale and efficiency (efficiency ratio down to ~50% in 2025 with a medium‑term ambition of ~40% by 2028). Other explicit operational targets include growing digital retail from 19 million toward ~40 million clients in 2026, upgrading the affluent base to ~4.7 million (Principal ~800,000 clients and ~50 new offices), further SME penetration after reaching ~16.6% market share, and sustaining strong insurance performance (insurance growth/operations previously guided at ~16.1%, technical provisions ~BRL 446 billion); overall recurring net income in 2025 was BRL 24.7 billion (Q4 BRL 6.5 billion), which management expects to build on in 2026.Banco Bradesco SA Financial Statement Overview
