BTG Pactual, a Brazilian investment bank listed in São Paulo, grew its third-quarter 2026 profit by 17%. Its return on equity slipped over the same period.

What BTG Pactual Reported

BTG Pactual reported adjusted net income of R$5.33 billion for the third quarter, according to a Reuters report carried by InfoMoney, a Brazilian financial news site, on 12 November 2026. That is about US$953 million at R$5.59 per US$, and “adjusted” is BTG’s own measure, which differs from reported net income.

Revenue grew about 14% to R$10.81 billion (about US$1.93 billion). Return on average equity (ROAE), which measures annual profit against shareholders’ capital, was 26.4% on an adjusted basis against 28.2% a year earlier.

A lower return alongside higher profit implies that average equity grew faster than profit. The InfoMoney report does not give the equity figure.
