Over the last six months, Inter has highlighted strong growth and strategic expansion. Record 2025 results and the adoption of the “Rule of 50” underscored a focus on revenue growth and ROE, yet shares fell 3.34% and 7.41% after those updates. Regulatory approval on Jan 16, 2026 for the Miami branch saw only a mild 0.25% rise. Today’s formal U.S. branch opening in Miami extends that international expansion narrative.
