# Banco Macro Posts Strong 2Q26 Earnings and Bolsters Solvency Amid Mixed Deposit Trends

An update from Banco Macro SA ( (BMA) ) is now available.

On August 19, 2026, Banco Macro reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, highlighting net income of Ps.206.8 billion, up 39% quarter-on-quarter and 4% year-on-year, with adjusted profitability metrics improving once restructuring costs are excluded. Operating income after expenses edged 1% higher versus a year earlier, while total financing grew 3% quarter-on-quarter to Ps.11.69 trillion, even as it fell 5% year-on-year, reflecting mixed credit demand in a challenging macroeconomic backdrop.

Total deposits slipped 1% quarter-on-quarter to Ps.14.74 trillion but were 4% higher than a year before, with private-sector and U.S. dollar deposits contracting even as peso deposits inched up, underscoring shifting investor preferences amid inflation and currency volatility. The bank emphasized its strong capital and liquidity positions, with a 28% capital adequacy and Tier 1 ratio, excess capital of Ps.4.1 trillion, liquid assets equal to 74% of deposits, and non-performing loans at 6.25% of financing covered at 95%, signalling resilient solvency and risk coverage for stakeholders despite asset-quality pressures.

**Spark’s Take on BMA Stock**

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BMA is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by volatile cash-flow reliability and a weak technical setup (price below key moving averages with negative MACD). Offsetting factors include a conservatively positioned balance sheet and a generally positive earnings-call backdrop with maintained growth guidance and strong capital/liquidity, while valuation is supported by a high dividend yield but tempered by a mid-range P/E.
