HSBC downgrades Banco Bradesco to Hold, sets $3.90 target, shares plunge 28.75%

HSBC lowered its rating on Banco Bradesco S.A. (BBD) from Buy to Hold and posted a $3.90 price target. The downgrade triggered a 28.75% drop in BBD shares on October 26, 2026. The bank reported $105.3 billion in revenue and a pretax profit margin of 34.6%, while its price‑to‑earnings ratio sits near 10.34. Analysts now view near‑term upside as limited unless new catalysts emerge.

The downgrade and target suggest limited upside, so investors may see further price pressure around the $3.90 level. The sharp 28.75% decline also reduces the stock’s market value and may prompt range‑bound trading.
