Credicorp: Strong Bank, But Limited Upside At Current Valuation
Summary Credicorp Ltd. maintains a dominant position in Peru, with 19% ROE and strong net interest margins, but trades at a premium valuation. BAP's growth is increasingly driven by digital initiatives like Yape, cost optimization, and a shift toward retail lending, rather than organic loan expansion. Political uncertainty from Peru's 2026 elections and structural instability pose significant risks to credit growth, investor confidence, and long-term asset stability. With a forward P/E of 11x and limited room for multiple expansion, BAP's future returns hinge on profit growth amid elevated macro and regulatory risks.

Credicorp Executing Well, But Macro Risk Remains High
Summary Credicorp's fourth quarter results were better than expected at the pre-provision line, but higher provisioning drove a miss for net income. Management is taking a more conservative stance on credit, noting some signs of weakness in real estate and tourism. Credicorp continues to see growth in its digital businesses, while competitors are getting more aggressive in corporate lending. Peru's political unrest threatens to spill over into the economy, as protests disrupt tourism and mining operations. Credicorp is undervalued on long-term growth of around 10%, but macro issues in Peru are a near-term issue for sentiment. I’ve used the “good house in a difficult neighborhood” analogy before with Credicorp (BAP), and it remains valid today – this Peruvian bank is a very well-run bank and one with above-average growth prospects, but political (and potentially economic) turmoil remains a significant challenge for sentiment and will, at some point, spill over into the operations unless the government of Peru can find a path out of its current crisis. Thus far, the shares have held up alright, declining modestly since my last update. It will take time for Peru to get back to some semblance of normal, but in the meantime two of the country’s main engines of economic growth, mining and tourism, are vulnerable to ongoing social unrest. I do still believe that Credicorp can generate around 10% long-term core earnings growth from here, and that it is undervalued on that basis, but investors considering the shares today should at least go in with their eyes open to the macro risks here. A Good Quarter On A Core Basis, But Higher Provisions Are A Concern Credicorp’s core results were better than expected in the fourth quarter, but there were some warning signs, including slowing loan demand and rising provisions, with management getting more cautious on the economic outlook. Revenue rose 22% year over year and 6% quarter over quarter, with net interest income driving the growth. Net interest income rose about 31% yoy and 8% qoq, beating by around 5% (different third-party services reported different “consensus” numbers for the quarter), with net interest margin up almost 150bp yoy and 42bp qoq to 5.73%. Earning assets fell about 3% sequentially. Fee income declined 3% yoy and 4% qoq, while insurance earnings rose 44% yoy and fell about 7% qoq. Operating expenses rose 11% yoy and about 16% qoq reported. Pre-provision profits rose 37% yoy and fell 3% qoq, beating by about 3%. Provisions, though, were much higher than expected, driving pre-tax profits down 18% qoq (up 1% yoy), missing by about 6% to 9%. Slowing Growth And Rising Non-Performing Loans Overall constant currency structural loan performance wasn’t too bad, rising close to 12% yoy and about 4% qoq, only a modest deceleration from the sequential growth in the third quarter. For the Peruvian operations, though, loans were up less than 1% sequentially versus the 5%-plus growth in the prior quarter, with particularly noticeable slowdowns in business lending. Corporate lending was down about 2% qoq, while small/medium-sized business lending slowed to the low single-digits. Consumer lending growth remains in the low single-digits on a sequential basis, with Mibanco slowing from about 4% qoq growth in the third quarter to less than 3% qoq growth this quarter. Given higher rates (Credicorp’s average loan yield improved 180bp yoy and 50bp qoq to 9.9%) and growing concern about the economy in 2023, it’s not so surprising that loan demand is slowing. At the same time, I think it’s worth monitoring the performance of competitors – BBVA (BBVA) and Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) (“Scotiabank”) have both been getting more aggressive in going after Credicorp’s nearly 40% market share in corporate lending. I also find Intercorp’s (IFS) efforts on the retail and digital side to be interesting. I’m more concerned at this point by the credit situation. Non-performing loans rose 10% sequentially, with the structural NPL ratio climbing slightly (3bp) to 4.95%. Mibanco’s NPL ratio actually improved meaningfully on a sequential basis, from 6.5% to 5%. Cost of risk jumped 85bp qoq to 2.06%, with Mibanco up 320bp to 5.9%, as management takes a more conservative stance on credit. Management pointed to increased signs of weakness in the corporate business from businesses in the real estate and tourism sectors, and does sound more cautious overall about the business climate in 2023. Political Risk Will Eventually Become Economic Risk Credicorp is doing well with the things it can control. It has maintained strong share in a wide range of lending categories while simultaneously maintaining good risk control and expanding its lending to smaller businesses and microfinance customers. There are a few areas where Credicorp punches below its weight (credit cards, most notably), but competing for more share against Intercorp and Scotiabank may not be worth the risk and cost. Credicorp also continues to leverage its digital efforts. About two-thirds of its customers use the bank’s digital tools for half or more of their transactions, and Yape continues to grow nicely, with a 42% sequential increase in users and an 84% sequential increase in active users. Not only is Credicorp starting to monetize Yape (largely through transactions and marketplace services), it’s expanding its digital offerings on Culqui (its acquiring/POS platform) and moving forward with a new digital bank offering for affluent customers. All of that is great, but there are bigger events underway in Peru. The arrest and impeachment of former president Castillo has not only put the country’s sixth president in place within the last five years, but also sparked violent protests across the country (more in the southern areas). Protests have led to the closure of Machu Picchu and disruptions to the mining industry, and the U.S. State Department and Britain’s government both now advise caution with respect to traveling to Peru. A resolution seems distant at this point. Some of the protestors are talking about themselves as an insurgency, and in multiple cases the government has treated them as such, leading multiple ministers of Boluarte’s government to resign in protest of the government’s use of violence to quell protests. Meanwhile, although the populace seems to support new elections in 2023, the congress seems reluctant to move on this, with elections currently scheduled for 2026.Seeking Alpha • Dec 16

Credicorp Remains A Well-Run House In A Tricky Neighborhood
Credicorp has seen better than expected leverage to higher interest rates, but ongoing investments in business development have weighed on pre-provision profits. Loan demand, yields, and credit trends look positive, but Peru's macroeconomic and political outlooks are shakier now, increasing overall operating and sentiment risk. Credicorp shares look undervalued on the prospect of high-single-digit long-term core earnings growth, but macro-driven volatility is a risk to consider. I’ve long been a fan of Credicorp (BAP), a well-run leading Peruvian bank, and I’ve been impressed with the company’s ability to navigate challenges in the political and macroeconomic environment of Peru, while continuing to maintain good lending share and investing in growth drivers like digital banking. I haven’t been as big of a fan of operating conditions in Peru, though, and I’m not altogether surprised that Credicorp’s shares are about 20% lower than at my last write-up, as the macroeconomic situation in Peru has gotten more challenging. It’s easier to be bullish on Credicorp at this lower valuation, though I still see economic and political risk as major factors in the investment analysis. Weak business confidence and low real wage growth aren’t great underlying trends for the near term, nor is a 20% approval rating for the president or a significant increase in the price of credit default swaps for Peru since the start of the year. All in all, I like the double-digit prospective returns here, but investors need to go in with their eyes open with respect to the above-average risks and volatility here. A Minor Miss On Core Earnings Credicorp’s second quarter was more “okay” than “good”, with positive loan and interest margin trends offset by some shortfalls in fee-based lines and higher expenses. Revenue rose 21% year over year and 4% quarter over quarter, with net interest income up 19% yoy and 8% qoq on a stronger-than-expected 46bp qoq improvement in net interest margin (to 46bp). While Credicorp isn’t an especially asset-sensitive bank, rate hikes have exceeded earlier expectations. Fee-based income rose 7% yoy and 3% qoq. Operating expenses rose 10% yoy and 5% qoq, and this was a notable contributor to a modest miss on the pre-provision line. Expenses were driven significantly by ongoing investments in IT (including digital banking) and customer loyalty initiatives – both of which are think are worth upfront investment in pursuit of improved long-term efficiency. Pre-provision profits rose 35% yoy and 3% qoq, but missed by about 1% - not a big deal, but you’d still rather see a beat. Provisioning expense was a fair bit higher than the sell-side expected, driven in large part by management caution regarding a deteriorating macro outlook, though underlying loss formation trends aren’t concerning at this point. Loan Growth Despite Macro Challenges Credicorp posted 15% yoy and 4% qoq adjusted constant-currency loan growth in the second quarter, which was solid relative to management and sell-side expectations. Mibanco, a segment of Credicorp that focuses on microfinance transactions, saw 20% yoy and 8% qoq loan growth, while Pyme (small-to-medium-sized business loans) saw 22% and 8% qoq loan growth. Corporate loan growth was also healthy (up 16.5% yoy and 3%), with middle-market (up 21% yoy and 3% qoq) standing out a bit. Mortgage loan demand was softer (up 8% yoy and 2.5% qoq), and the Bolivian segment saw loans contract more than 1% yoy (flattish qoq). Reactiva loans (a program in Peru very roughly akin to the U.S. PPP program remain about 10% of loan balances). Credit quality is somewhat mixed. The 90-day non-performing loan ratio was down both annually (down 65bp) and sequentially (18bp) to 4.9%, but the cost of risk is trending toward the high end of management’s expectations and the bank is seeing some moderate NPL formation within small/medium-sized business working capital lending. At the same time, Mibanco credit quality is trending positively, with the NPL ratio down 570bp yoy and 60bp qoq to 6.1%. Healthy loan demand and improving credit quality are coming despite some notable challenges in the macro environment. While the Peruvian economy has been helped by higher commodity prices, copper prices are already about 25% off their high, and business confidence in Peru is fairly low at around 34 in July – down from close to 45 at the start of the year (numbers above 50 indicate positive feelings about the near-term outlook for Peruvian economy). At the same time, Peru remains stuck with low real wage growth and real GDP growth is only expected to be in the neighborhood of 2.5% to 3% over the next couple of years. The political situation also remains volatile. There have been ongoing clashes between the legislative and executive branches, and President Castillo’s approval rating is currently hovering around 20%.Seeking Alpha • Jul 19
Credicorp stock gains after Credit Suisse upgrades on Peru's economic outlook
Credicorp (NYSE:BAP) stock is rising 4.8% in midday Tuesday trading after Credit Suisse analyst Alonso Garcia upgraded the Peru-based bank to Outperform from Neutral as he sees Peru as "one of the most defensive countries in the LatAm region amid a global economic slowdown, rising yields, and risk aversion sentiment." Overall, the Credit Suisse economics team expects Peru to fare better than most of its regional peers in GDP growth in 2022 and 2023, with "the best fiscal results and one of the lowest debt burdens," Garcia wrote in a note to clients. With the stock at a discounted valuation, Credicorp (BAP) has an attractive risk-reward profile, he said. Year-to-date, BAP stock has slipped 2.0% vs. the S&P 500 20% drop. Garcia's Outperform rating aligns with the SA Quant rating of Buy and is more bullish than the average Wall Street rating of Hold. SA contributor Stephen Simpson wasn't as optimistic about Credicorp (BAP) in March, saying it short-term valuation metrics were more "okay" than compelling.Seeking Alpha • Mar 12
Credicorp Shaking Off The Pandemic And Getting Back To Business As Usual
Credicorp has continued to benefit from better-than-expected credit evolution and demand for loans is starting to pick up again. This Peruvian bank is not particularly asset-sensitive, and loan growth will be mitigated by Reactiva loan run-off, but double-digit revenue growth and single-digit opex growth can drive strong earnings growth. I'm not fully convinced that the political situation in Peru is no longer a risk, but it seems like the more dire scenarios are off the table now. Long-term core earnings growth in the low double-digits can support a double-digit annualized return from here, but shorter-term valuation metrics are more "okay" than compelling.Seeking Alpha • Sep 02
Good Execution At Credicorp Canceled Out By Political Risk
Credicorp had a mixed quarter on weakness in insurance and higher opex meant to grow the business further down the line, but spread income and loan growth were positives. Credit quality continues to improve, and Credicorp management solidified their good reputation by acting quickly and conservatively on reserving early in the cycle. Digitalization remains a significant long-term opportunity for Credicorp, and customer utilization has improved as a result of the pandemic. The election of Pedro Castillo has created turmoil in the Peruvian economy and market, with considerable uncertainty over how much of the Marxist campaign rhetoric will become actual policy/law. Credicorp is undervalued on a long-term core earnings growth rate of 7% and mid-teens ROEs, but there is very high uncertainty and risk around the macro and regulatory environments.Shareholder Returns
