Banco Bradesco S.A. (BBD)

Banco Bradesco’s SEC filings (20-F and the latest half-year 6-K) do not flag going-concern issues and describe solid capital/liquidity positioning (e.g., Tier I 12.8% and NSFR 120.5% in the H1 2026 report). Profitability improved with strong FY2025 earnings growth and trailing ROE in the mid-teens, while the ADR trades at a low trailing earnings multiple and around book value. Key risks are Brazil macro/credit-cycle swings and FX translation rather than an immediate balance-sheet stress signal.

Mixed, forming setup: a tape-rewarded Q2-profit-plus-buyback cluster (2026-09-02, announced) is offset by a Weiss downgrade to hold and BBDC3's deletion from Brazil's IBRX 50 index, firing the moderate conflicting-catalyst cap; the media sentiment delta is essentially flat (baseline −0.06 → scoring +0.01) and retail interest is indeterminate. Severe red-flag screen: none triggered.

BBD is consolidating after a sharp late-August/September advance (2.98 low 08-20 to 3.63 high 09-11, +21.8%) and is now pulling back toward the EMA21/SMA50 support cluster (3.42-3.44) while holding above SMA20 (3.37) and the 09-17 session VWAP (3.47). Momentum is still positive - MACD line 0.05 above signal 0.03, both above zero, with a positive histogram (0.02), confirming a momentum reclaim - and RSI14 at 55.2 is neutral-positive. Offsetting weaknesses: the MACD histogram has shrunk for three sessions, ADX14 has faded to 20.9 (weak trend strength), and the stock remains below its SMA200 (3.61) and below the fast averages (EMA9 3.49, WMA9 3.52). Score 3: a genuine pullback-to-support structure inside an intact short-term uptrend, tempered by fading momentum and weak trend strength.
