Bradesco's 4Q24 results show lagging loan growth, NII, and rising expenses, with key retail categories like credit cards and current accounts shrinking. Despite a 16% earnings yield, Bradesco's valuation is not attractive compared to peers like Santander Brasil and Banco do Brasil, which offer better growth and efficiency. Loan book grew 12% YoY, but the mix favored riskier segments; NII grew only 5.4% YoY, lagging behind loan growth.

Investors need to pay close attention to Banco Bradesco (BBD) stock based on the movements in the options market lately.
Bradesco's stock has fallen 30% over the past year and 70% over five years, but profits rose 13% and delinquency rates improved. The Brazilian bank has been focusing on operational efficiency, reducing credit approval times by 40% and cutting the number of branches and service points by 42% since 2017. Bradesco trades at a 0.6x book value, offering an attractive dividend yield projected to exceed 10% in 2025-2026.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva nominated Nilton David, head trader at Bradesco bank, to serve as the next monetary policy director at the central bank starting in January, the institution said on Friday.
Banco Bradesco's 3Q24 results show declining market share, increasing costs, and shrinking margins. Despite this, net income recovered due to lower delinquencies. The bank's loan book grew 8% YoY, but it's losing share in key categories like personal loans, credit cards, and deposits. Lower net interest margins and higher operating expenses are concerning, though improved loan quality has reduced non-performing loans and allowances.

Bradesco's financial indicators have been heavily impacted by banking digitization and increased competition. The bank's managers are introducing changes to the company's structure, processes, and culture in response to these challenges. However, despite the discounted valuation there is still no clear inflection point in the company's results, which raises skepticism.
