Banco Santander, S.A. has outperformed with a 200%+ total return since 2022, driven by its diversified global footprint and M&A activity.

Banco Santander Brasil's loan book is flat in real terms, but the risk mix is rising with more exposure to consumer finance and SMEs amid tightening credit. NPLs and write-offs are increasing, especially in SME lending, signaling credit stress as Brazil's macro environment cools. Valuation is fair for now with a 16% earnings yield, but short-term downside risk exists if the credit cycle worsens further.
I recommend holding Santander Brasil shares after Q2 2025 results, which showed mixed performance and fell short of market expectations. The bank remains conservative with modest loan growth, slight improvement in delinquency rates, and strong expense management amid a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. Valuation appears cheap, but peers like Itaú and Banco do Brasil offer more attractive risk/reward profiles based on P/E, ROE, and P/B ratios.
Banco Santander has continued to perform strongly, with the ADSs returning another ~25% since my last update in May. This takes their year-to-date return to nearly 100%. Q2 results saw the bank deliver another record net profit, even as lower interest rates weigh on parts of its business. The stock has re-rated to a rich-looking premium to tangible book value, albeit the bank continues to earn a strong mid-teens return on tangible equity.
