Market sentiment
Sentiment has weakened slightly: strong Q1 profitability is offset by a new reputational risk and continued margin pressure from low UF inflation, alongside more cautious sell-side tone.
Why this signal
Hold/wait: Q1 still shows high returns, but the new event increases uncertainty around compliance, internal controls, and potential costs/reputational fallout. With mixed analyst signals and limited near-term fundamental upside, it is prudent to wait for the Q2 print and more clarity on the case.
Maintain the current position; avoid adding until there is more visibility on the investigation and Q2 trends (margins/asset quality).
