â–²(10.96% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:08/18/26
The score is driven primarily by strong underlying financial performance (improving profitability, ROE and leverage trends) and a constructive earnings-call outlook with raised loan growth and higher medium-term ROE targets. Offsetting factors are cash-flow volatility and mixed near-term technical momentum, while valuation is supportive with a moderate P/E and ~3.8% dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Strong profitability and loan growth
High returns, double-digit lending growth and expanding net interest income indicate strong franchise demand and earnings power. Lower funding costs and a higher-yielding loan mix support the durability of profitability over the next several quarters.
Negative Factors
El Niño credit exposure
Weather-related stress can weaken borrowers in agriculture, fishing and related industries, raising provisions and impairments. Management expects risks within guidance, but a severe scenario could produce more pronounced credit costs and slower growth into 2027.

Credicorp Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Aug 13, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Nov 09, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed a predominantly positive operational and financial picture: strong profitability (ROE >20%), accelerating loan growth, margin expansion, diversified fee growth, digital ecosystem scale (Yape) and improved asset quality. Management upgraded medium-term ROE to ~22% and raised loan growth guidance to ~12%, reflecting confidence in underlying fundamentals. Key risks are manageable but notable: El Nino-related provisions (~$106M) and potential further impacts to 2027, increased operating expenses due to innovation investments, and insurance underwriting pressure. Management expects cost of risk to remain within guidance and affirmed capital strength and dividend capacity. On balance, the company's positives and strategic progress materially outweigh the near-term weather-related and expense-related headwinds.Positive Updates
Strong Quarterly and First-Half Profitability
Reported ROE of 20.3% for the quarter and a first-half ROE of 21.2%, demonstrating robust profitability and supporting management's updated medium-term ROE target of ~22% (up from prior ~19.5%).
Negative Updates
El Nino-Related Provisions and Uncertainty
Approximately $106 million in additional provisions were booked for El Nino exposure (management cited ~27 bps impact to cost of risk this quarter). Direct exposure to potentially affected clients estimated at ~9% of total loans. Management will reassess in Sept–Oct and warns 2027 could see more pronounced effects in a severe scenario.

Company Guidance
Management guided that 2026 GDP should grow around 3.5% (including El Niño), loans are now expected to rise ~12% (quarter‑end balances), NIM (6.6% this quarter) and risk‑adjusted NIM (5.5% this quarter) should finish at the higher end of guidance, and fee income is now guided to grow in the high‑teens; cost of risk is expected to increase in H2 but remain within guidance (reported cost of risk was 1.9% this quarter, 1.6% excluding ~27 bps of El Niño-related provisions and after booking ≈$106m of additional provisions), the group’s efficiency ratio is expected to stay within guidance (H1 ~45.6%), 2026 ROE is reaffirmed at ~19.5% with a bias to the upside, and the medium‑term ROE target was raised to around 22% (management notes direct El Niño exposure ≈9% of loans and estimates 2027 GDP ≈3% under a moderate–strong El Niño scenario).Credicorp Financial Statement Overview
