What the Bank Last Reported
In the second quarter of 2026 Banco do Brasil earned an adjusted net profit (profit without one-off items) of R$3.9 billion (about US$0.70 billion), 3.3% more than a year earlier. That was 13.9% more than in the first quarter.
Loans overdue by 90 days or more stood at 5.61% of its loan portfolio at the end of June, against 3.96% a year earlier. In May the bank cut its 2026 profit guidance, its own forecast range for the year, to between R$18 billion (about US$3.2 billion) and R$22 billion (about US$3.9 billion), from R$22 billion to R$26 billion (about US$4.7 billion), citing worsening risk in lending to agribusiness, meaning farming and related industries.
What Analysts Expect
BTG Pactual forecasts a profit of R$1.9 billion (about US$0.34 billion), about 50% below the second quarter. It bases the forecast on higher loan-loss provisions, and it expects return on equity, profit measured against shareholders’ funds, near 4%.
Goldman Sachs, a US investment bank, expects recurring profit (profit without one-off items) of about R$3.7 billion (about US$0.66 billion), roughly 5% below the second quarter. The two forecasts show how far views differ before the numbers arrive.
