Marcelo de Noronha
CEO & Member of Executive Board
Good morning, everyone, and thank you so much for joining us again. We are here once again to speak about our earnings results, especially for the second quarter of 2026. We are talking to you straight from our studios at Cidade de Deus. Now it’s 10:31, August 6. So we are here live and alive and kicking. I mean if I even say this, probably the young generation doesn’t even know what it is. So we are here broadcasting live from Cidade de Deus. So I’m here to present our results.
As you’ve seen from yesterday’s publication, we reached BRL 7.1 billion net income in the second quarter and 16.2% growth year-on-year, 3.5% quarter-over-quarter with ROAE of 16.2%, I mean, higher than what the market expected because the market expected that we would reach 16% ROAE in the last quarter of this year.
