â–²(12.36% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:08/24/26
Overall score is held back primarily by moderate financial performance, driven by high leverage and historically volatile cash flows despite a TTM recovery. Technicals are a clear positive with price above major moving averages and positive momentum indicators. Valuation is reasonable (moderate P/E and ~2.9% yield), while earnings-call tone is constructive but tempered by reliance on less-recurring market income and cautious guidance amid macro and cost/funding pressures.
Positive Factors
Loan and Deposit Growth
Broad loan and deposit growth indicates continued franchise relevance and funding depth. Deposit growth exceeding lending growth supports liquidity and gives subsidiaries capacity to expand credit while reducing reliance on wholesale funding.
Negative Factors
Elevated Financial Leverage
High leverage limits balance-sheet flexibility and increases sensitivity to funding costs, credit losses and regulatory requirements. Modest recent returns on equity suggest the sizable asset base is not yet producing the profitability achieved during the stronger 2021–2022 period.

Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores SA Pfd Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Aug 12, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Nov 18, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call highlighted a strong operational quarter with record quarterly net income, expanded margins (driven largely by investment/trading income), loan and deposit growth, solid capital ratios, stable asset quality and clear progress on digital and technology transformation. However, management remains cautious because a sizable portion of the quarter's performance was driven by non-recurring market income that is partly offset by derivatives, and the outlook faces material macro and structural headwinds — higher inflation and interest rates, fiscal uncertainty, potential local tax increases, energy/El Niño risks, and cost pressures. Guidance was conservative for the second half and full year ROAE, reflecting these uncertainties.Positive Updates
Record Quarterly Profitability
Attributed net income of COP 577 billion, up 17% year-over-year and the highest quarterly result since March 2022; net income per share COP 24.2.
Negative Updates
Capital Markets/Investment Income Not Fully Recurring
A significant portion of the quarter's NIM and net interest income improvement was driven by strong investment/trading income; net of derivatives, net NIM investments would be ~5.1% and total NIM would have been ~4.6%, prompting conservative guidance for second-half investment NIM (~2%).
