Recent history shows generally positive price reactions to earnings and capital actions, with one divergence where shares rose despite weaker YoY profitability.
Over the last several months, Banco Macro reported volatile earnings but consistently strong capital and liquidity. Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 showed pressured profitability, followed by stronger Q2 2025 results with higher net income and solid asset quality. A June 2025 notes offering added term funding, and an October 2025 buyback program signaled capital deployment. The current 3Q25 release highlights lower YoY income but robust solvency, fitting into a narrative of cyclical earnings against a strong balance sheet.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved +7.5% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with prior earnings-related moves, where the stock often shifted by around mid-single digits after results. The 3Q25 release mixed weaker 9M25 income with solid capital ratios and liquidity, similar to earlier periods. Investors reviewing sustainability could weigh loan and deposit growth, asset quality metrics like the 3.19% NPL ratio, and how future quarters track against the recent 35% YoY profit decline.
