EPS (Earnings Per Share): Approximately $7.33 (S/25.0, +8.8% versus S/22.9 a year earlier, versus the $7.36 expected) ❌ Miss

Highlights
Loan Growth: Loan balances at quarter-end rose 13.1% year over year
Credit Quality Improvement: Non-performing loan ratio fell to 4.1%, down 0.91 percentage points from a year earlier
Mid-Term Target: Mid-term return on equity expectation raised to approximately 22%
Lending growth was led by the flagship banking and microfinance segments, while the deposit mix also shifted toward lower-cost funding, driving net interest income up 13.3% year over year. Yape, the digital payments and financial platform, also continued to scale up and monetize, supporting further revenue diversification.
Weak Spots
Below Expectations: Both EPS and operating revenue came in slightly below consensus
El Niño Provisions: An additional provision of approximately S/106 million related to El Niño-related risks
Insurance Weakness: Insurance underwriting results fell 17.9% year over year
Net income did increase on a year-over-year basis, but declined 3.9% versus the prior quarter, while the cost of risk rose to 1.9% reflecting the additional provisions. Insurance was a soft spot for the group, with both life and P&C businesses weighed down by claims and reinsurance pressures.
What Management Said
Management described it as another solid quarter, supported by a recovery in Peru's economic activity and private investment. The company kept its 2026 return on equity target of approximately 19.5%, while flagging an upward bias, and expressed confidence in reaching roughly 22% over the mid term.
Market Reaction and What to Watch Next
Selling pressure dominated after the close, as the modest miss, El Niño-related provisions, and the sequential decline in net income all weighed on sentiment.
