â–²(14.65% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:06/26/26
The score is primarily driven by mixed financial performance: strong recent revenue growth and a conservatively levered balance sheet are offset by cooled profitability versus 2023 and notably inconsistent cash flow. Technicals add only modest support with a longer-term uptrend but near-term softness and neutral momentum. Valuation is slightly below average due to a higher P/E, partly balanced by the dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Capital adequacy
Very strong regulatory capital and reported excess buffers give the bank durable loss-absorption capacity. High CET1/Tier 1 ratios and excess capital support continued lending, dividend distributions and regulatory confidence amid Argentina’s macro volatility, enabling strategic optionality over months.
Negative Factors
Inconsistent cash generation
Volatile and sometimes negative free cash flow undermines the reliability of internal funding for loan growth, capital returns, and investment. Sharp swings in FCF can force reliance on capital distributions, asset sales or external funding, raising execution risk for medium-term strategy and payouts.

Banco Macro SA Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 25, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 26, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented a mixed but fundamentally constructive picture: Banco Macro showed solid recurring profitability drivers (strong NII, deposit and loan growth YoY, market share gains), very robust capital and liquidity metrics, improved efficiency and proactive restructuring to lower future costs, and a successful FX positioning. Offsetting these positives were significant one-off restructuring charges that depressed reported earnings and ROE, higher provisions and a deterioration in consumer NPLs, Q4 net monetary losses amid inflation volatility, elevated operating costs in the quarter and a much higher effective tax rate. Management provided updated 2026 guidance (loans +20% real, deposits +6% real, adjusted ROE ~8%) and a path to recovery; many negatives are being managed via restructuring and provisioning. Overall, the highlights modestly outweigh the lowlights given the bank's strong capital/liquidity position and recurring income strength, but risks remain tied to consumer credit quality, inflation/macro volatility and transitional restructuring costs.Positive Updates
Successful FX Positioning
Short U.S. dollar positioning in H2 2025 and related allocations generated a Q4 net gain of ARS 26.3 billion, contributing positively to results.

Company Guidance
Banco Macro said it has fine‑tuned 2026 guidance to reflect updated macro consensus (GDP ~2.8–3.0% and inflation ~27% vs prior 20%), targeting real loan growth of ~20% and real deposit growth of ~6%, an adjusted ROE of ~8% (reported ROE ~5% when including restructuring charges) and adjusted ROA ~1.8–2.0%; it expects cost of risk ~5.2% (vs 5.6% in 2025) and NPLs to drift to the mid‑to‑low 3% range (with improvement concentrated in 2H26), NIM around ~20% (Q4‑25 NIM ~21.7%), and noted Q4‑25 restructuring charges of ARS 82.9bn (≈ARS 36bn carrying into 2026) that reduce recurring OpEx over time (≈3pp impact on ROE), while preserving strong buffers — excess capital ARS 3.6tn (CAR & Tier‑1 ~30.6%) and liquid assets/total deposits ~73% — and using securities (~24% of assets) and capital to finance any loan‑deposit gap while maintaining market share (private‑loan share ~8.6%, private‑deposit share ~7.9%).Banco Macro SA Financial Statement Overview
