â–²(16.28% Upside)
Action:ReiteratedDate:03/13/26
The score is driven primarily by improving but still mixed financial performance (recovery in 2025 tempered by higher leverage and historically volatile cash flow). Valuation is a clear positive with a low P/E and strong dividend yield, while technicals are a near-term headwind given weak momentum and price below key moving averages. Earnings-call commentary supports a constructive outlook, though higher costs and capital/regulatory uncertainty constrain the upside.
Positive Factors
Diversified universal-bank model
Bradesco's broad universal-bank model creates multiple durable revenue streams—net interest income, fees, insurance and treasury—reducing reliance on any single cycle. This breadth supports cross‑sell, diversified earnings and resilience to isolated shocks over the next 2–6 months.
Negative Factors
Materially higher leverage
A sharp rise in leverage increases sensitivity to credit cycles, funding stresses and interest-rate moves. Higher debt-to-equity narrows buffer for losses and raises the cost of capital, making capital management and CET1 volatility a sustained constraint on strategic flexibility over coming quarters.

Banco Bradesco Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 05, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 29, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a broadly positive tone driven by strong recurring net income growth (Q4 and full year), ROAE surpassing cost of capital, significant digital and SME progress, robust NII and fee trends, capital markets and insurance outperformance, and continued high technology investment and AI adoption. Management acknowledged near‑term tradeoffs—higher operating expenses driven by technology and restructuring, regulatory/capital timing risks (CET1 and DTAs), some revenue detractors (checking/collections) and conservative guidance that tempered market expectations—but characterized these as controlled or temporary and part of a multi‑year transformation aimed at sustainable ROAE improvement.Positive Updates

Recurring net income of BRL 6.5 billion in Q4 2025, up 20.6% year‑over‑year; full year recurring net income BRL 24.7 billion, up 26.1% YoY.
Negative Updates
Operating expenses growth
Operating expenses increased by 8.5% in 2025; even excluding certain affiliates (EloPar and Cielo) OpEx grew ~7.2%, above inflation in parts and driven by higher technology spending, profit sharing and some advertising/marketing investments.

Company Guidance
The management guided to continued profitable growth in 2026 with expanded loan‑book growth targeted roughly 8.5%–10.5% (management cited ~9.5% as a baseline), CET1 around 11%, and recurring net income momentum off 2025’s BRL 6.5bn Q4 / BRL 24.7bn full year (ROAE 15.2%) expected to keep improving; top‑line growth is guided to be close to 10% next year while operating expenses are guided to rise about 8% (with roughly 3% attributable to continued technology investment and ~5% to personnel/HR), technology spend having risen 22% in 2025 and contributing ~3% of the 2026 growth assumption.
