Brazil financial sector reports mixed 2Q26 results
Brazil's financial sector shows mixed results for the second quarter of 2026. Caixa Econômica Federal reported a recurring net profit of R$ 3.9 billion, a 5.9% increase compared to the same period last year. This growth was driven by a strong expansion in credit, particularly in the real estate sector, which reached a balance of R$ 1.005 trillion. However, the bank also faced rising delinquency rates, with operations overdue by more than 90 days rising to 3.64%, and a significant spike in agribusiness delinquency to 20.74%.
In the fintech sector, major players like Nubank and XP drove a combined net profit of R$ 8.94 billion for the second quarter. While Nubank and XP achieved record profits, the group faced rising delinquency rates, with Stone and PicPay seeing notable increases in overdue accounts. Some relief for these companies was attributed to the federal 'Desenrola' debt renegotiation program.
Broadly, the Central Bank reported that free credit concessions fell 1.9% in July, while total credit stock reached R$ 7.372 trillion. Despite high interest rates, Abecip projects real estate credit to reach R$ 411 billion by 2026, supported by SBPE and FGTS resources.
