Banking & dividends analyst

Bradesco announces a sizable R$3B interim interest distribution.

Bradesco is returning R$3,000,000,000.00 to shareholders via interim interest on equity, with per-share amounts specified for both common and preferred shares. Because this interest will be included in the mandatory dividend calculation for the year, it effectively brings part of the annual shareholder payout forward.

The company highlights that this net distribution is about 15.7% times its typical monthly net interest payments, signaling a meaningfully larger-than-usual installment. Entitlement is set for shareholders of record on September 29, 2025, with payment due by April 30, 2026, so the timing and eligibility are clearly defined in advance.

Operationally, shareholders must have updated registration data with the bank to receive funds, which may affect some retail holders. Overall, this is a capital return decision rather than an operational change, so its impact focuses on cash received by investors rather than on Bradesco’s underlying business performance.
