What Our Analysis Says
DVR Score as of May 23, 2026
Inter & Co Inc (INTR) maintains strong long-term growth potential due to its expanding 44M+ client base in Brazil's digital finance sector, robust YoY revenue (+32.8%) and net income (+37.8%) growth, and strategic vision including its 'Seven' AI tool. However, the Q1 2026 earnings missed analyst estimates on both revenue (~5.3%) and EPS (~7.7%), and management indicated higher funding costs (6% vs 5-5.5%), necessitating a score adjustment. While profitability (ROE 15.5%) remains strong, the estimate misses and potential margin pressure introduce near-term uncertainty. Analyst price targets imply significant upside, but balance sheet liquidity (current ratio previously 0.89) warrants continued monitoring. The score of 83/100 reflects the revised understanding of Q1 performance and increased operational cost outlook, while still recognizing the company's strong market position and growth trajectory.
