Banco Bradesco Upgrade: Citi analyst Gustavo Schroden upgraded Banco Bradesco S.A. from Neutral to Buy, raising the price target from R$13.60 to R$19.50 due to improved return on investment and expected growth in net interest income by 2025.
Future Projections: The bank's sustainable return on equity (ROE) is projected to reach 16.5% by late 2026, driven by cost discipline and operating leverage, although some analysts suggest other AI stocks may offer better investment potential.
