Thesis Summary

Credicorp enters the second half of 2026 with strong profitability: second-quarter ROE reached 20.3%, and management raised its medium-term ROE ambition to approximately 22%. The June 2026 upgrade of Credicorp's long-term foreign-currency rating to BBB+ with a Stable Outlook provides additional support. These positives are balanced by concentration in Peru, sensitivity to political and macroeconomic conditions, credit-cycle risk, and uncertainty over whether recent loan and fee momentum can be converted into durable returns.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$219.0019%

A weaker Peruvian operating environment, higher credit costs, funding pressure, or slower loan and fee growth pushes ROE below 18% and undermines confidence in the approximately 22% medium-term ambition. The concentration of major operations in Peru would amplify these pressures.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$415.2358%
Matches the consensus mean

ROE remains strong but below the approximately 22% medium-term ambition as growth normalizes and credit costs remain manageable. The diversified financial-services platform and stronger credit standing support earnings resilience, while Peru-specific macroeconomic and political exposure limits conviction.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$480.0023%

Profitability moves toward management's approximately 22% medium-term ROE ambition as loan and fee momentum persists, funding remains disciplined, and asset quality stays controlled. Credicorp's banking, insurance, pensions, microfinance, and investment-management operations provide multiple contributors to earnings resilience.

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