â–²(5.49% 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:May 27, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 19, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented strong core financial performance: sizable net income growth, improved NII and NIM, disciplined funding cost reduction, solid capital and liquidity, and continued cost-efficiency actions. Key challenges include quarter-over-quarter deterioration in delinquency metrics, a sizable net monetary loss driven by rising inflation, QoQ declines in deposits and total financing, and conservative provisioning that depresses reported earnings relative to a lower-coverage scenario. Management maintained growth guidance (42% nominal loan growth, 34% nominal deposit growth) and emphasized a conservative provisioning approach and operational efficiency, while noting early signs of economic recovery and improving consumer Stage 3 trends. Weighing the meaningful earnings, margin and capital strengths against the asset-quality headwinds and macro sensitivity, the overall tone is positive with cautious management of downside risks.Positive Updates
Strong Net Income Growth
Net income of ARS 139.8 billion in Q1 2026, up 28% quarter-on-quarter (ARS 30.2 billion) and up 131% year-on-year (ARS 79.2 billion). Excluding restructuring (ARS 12.9 billion after tax), adjusted net income would be ARS 152.9 billion.

Company Guidance
Banco Macro said it is maintaining prior guidance: nominal loan growth of 42% and deposit growth of 34% for 2026 (management models assume ~28% inflation), an adjusted ROE target of about 8% (management noted Q1 adjusted ROE was ≈11.6% and an alternative adjusted ROE of 15.7% excluding a hypothetic 90% coverage), and a cost-of-risk run-rate a little above 5.5–6%; they expect a small contraction in NIM versus Q1 (Q1 NIM incl. FX was 25.3%) with pressure coming more from asset yields than funding, while recurring OpEx (excluding restructuring) should continue to fall in real terms (recurrent costs were down ~6% YoY; employee benefits fell 28% QoQ); balance-sheet cushions underpin the guidance: CAR and Tier‑1 at 32.4%, ARS ~4.0 trillion excess capital, liquid assets ~78% of deposits, coverage ratio 109.79% (NPL total financial ratio 5.4%, Stage‑3 3.64%).Banco Macro SA Financial Statement Overview
