Aug 28, 2026
Shares declined 2.9% following a mixed quarter that showed earnings growth but signs of margin pressure and decelerating loan growth in key segments, tempering investor enthusiasm.

Key takeaways
- Net income rose 12% year-over-year to ARS 258 billion, driven by stronger earnings at Banco Galicia and subsidiaries.

- Peso-denominated loans declined 7%, reflecting a more selective origination stance amid reduced demand, while dollar-denominated loans grew 9%.
- Interest expenses fell 16%, benefiting from lower funding costs alongside broadly declining interest rates.
- Credit quality improved, with an 8% reduction in loan loss provisions and better delinquency indicators.
