what happened
Banco Santander Brasil SA (NYSE:BSBR) fell short of provisions estimates in the second quarter, TradingView reported. Management said asset quality had not deteriorated and that the cost of risk might have peaked. The company also pointed to early improvement, although July delinquencies increased.
The Brazilian unit accounted for about 16% of the group’s profits in 2025, making Brazil Santander’s second-largest profit market. Jefferies said that contribution could change as the group completes deals in the UK and US.
BSBR remains sensitive to interest rates ahead of Brazil’s Oct. 25, 2026 election and possible policy changes. Analysts said a Bolsonaro victory could lead to faster rate cuts.
