BTG Pactual Posts Record Q2 Revenue as Consumer Finance Surges 37%
Brazil's largest investment bank delivered BRL 10.4 billion in revenue with 26.7% ROE, driven by integrated Banco Pan operations and diversified growth across business lines.
Record Results Across Business Lines
Banco BTG Pactual delivered record revenue and net income for the second quarter of 2026, with total revenues reaching BRL 10.4 billion, a 16% increase year-over-year, and net income of BRL 5.1 billion, up 3% from the prior year (earnings call, 2026-08-11). The bank achieved a return on equity of 26.7%, reflecting what CEO Roberto Sallouti described as "efficiency gains of the integrated business now with Banco Pan" (earnings call, 2026-08-11).
For the first half of 2026, BTG Pactual recorded net income of BRL 10 billion, representing a 31% increase year-over-year, with a return on equity of 26.6% and net income per unit of BRL 2.58 (earnings call, 2026-08-11).
Consumer Finance and Diversification Drive Growth
The Consumer Finance and Banking division posted particularly strong results, with revenues growing 37% year-over-year, "mainly driven by the results from Banco Pan" along with contributions from new partnerships (earnings call, 2026-08-11). The consumer finance credit portfolio reached BRL 78 billion, with payroll loans expanding 61% compared to the second quarter of 2025 (earnings call, 2026-08-11).
Corporate Lending and Business Banking also delivered a record quarter, with revenues increasing 19% year-over-year to BRL 2.5 billion while maintaining "healthy spreads and discipline" in asset origination (earnings call, 2026-08-11). The total corporate portfolio grew 21% year-over-year to BRL 288.5 billion, benefiting from geographical and segment diversification (earnings call, 2026-08-11).
Asset Gathering Momentum Continues
BTG Pactual's Asset and Wealth Management businesses recorded BRL 59 billion in net new money during the quarter, split roughly evenly between the two divisions (earnings call, 2026-08-11). Combined assets under management and wealth under management reached BRL 2.7 trillion, with Asset Management growing 25% year-over-year to BRL 1.361 trillion and Wealth Management expanding 24% to BRL 1.314 trillion (earnings call, 2026-08-11).
CFO Renato Cohn noted that the asset management business recorded "positive net new money of BRL 29.4 billion during the quarter," a significant achievement "considering the challenging environment that the asset management industry is experiencing in recent quarters with the fund industry experiencing net redemptions" (earnings call, 2026-08-11).
Trading Resilience Amid Macro Headwinds
Sales & Trading demonstrated resilience despite what management characterized as a "very challenging macro environment," delivering revenues of BRL 1.58 billion, stable compared to the previous quarter (earnings call, 2026-08-11). The division offset "slower client activity" through "more efficient risk allocation," evidenced by average value-at-risk declining to 22 basis points from 32 basis points in the prior quarter (earnings call, 2026-08-11).
Investment Banking faced headwinds from softer debt capital markets activity, with revenues of BRL 421 million representing a decrease from the prior quarter. However, Cohn noted that "by the end of second quarter, we started to see an improvement of issuances pointing to a stronger pipeline for the third quarter of '26" (earnings call, 2026-08-11).
The bank's cost-to-income ratio improved to 37.1% from 38.5% at year-end 2025, demonstrating enhanced operating leverage (earnings call, 2026-08-11). Total assets reached BRL 925 billion with shareholders' equity of BRL 80 billion and a conservative capital ratio of 16% (earnings call, 2026-08-11).
