Thesis Summary

Santander Chile entered the second half of 2026 with strong profitability, improving efficiency, customer growth and solid regulatory capital. However, a material part of the second-quarter earnings acceleration came from higher inflation-linked readjustment income, while underlying loan growth remained moderate.

This section is the 12-month view: analyst targets and the probability-weighted scenarios built from them. The intrinsic value at the top of this page answers a different question: what the business is worth today.

Bear CaseDownside scenario

$18.9018%

Lower UF inflation could reverse part of the recent margin benefit, while weak loan demand or rising credit costs could pressure earnings. A deterioration in capital or operating efficiency would further weaken the case.

Base CaseCentral scenario

$35.1558%

Matches the consensus mean

Profitability is expected to normalize from the unusually inflation-supportive second quarter while remaining underpinned by customer growth, fee recurrence, cost discipline and sound capital. Moderate loan growth and sensitivity to UF inflation temper the outlook.

Bull CaseUpside scenario

$43.0024%

Continued customer acquisition, greater digital-product usage, disciplined expenses and recovering commercial and mortgage demand could make the recent efficiency and profitability gains more durable than the inflation-assisted second-quarter result alone suggests. The strong capital position provides capacity to support growth and shareholder distributions.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.

Key Investment Merits

Six-month 2026 net income increased 19.2% year over year and ROAE reached 27.2%.
The six-month efficiency ratio improved to 31.6% from 35.3% in the prior-year period.
Customers increased 6.9% year over year to more than 4.8 million, while fee recurrence reached 64.1%.
June 2026 capital remained solid, with an 11.1% CET1 ratio and 16.6% BIS ratio; shareholders also approved distribution of 60% of 2025 profit.

Key Investment Risks

Second-quarter profitability benefited materially from a 2.5% UF variation and higher inflation-linked readjustment income, creating normalization risk.
Loans at amortized cost increased only 1.2% from year-end 2025, leaving results exposed to a slower credit-demand recovery.
The 1.22% second-quarter cost of risk could rise if household or commercial borrower conditions weaken.
Sustaining dividends and growth simultaneously depends on preserving the bank's regulatory capital buffers.

All scenarios are estimates and subject to change. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
