The bank anticipates a net profit ranging from 37 billion reais ($6.5 billion) to 41 billion reais ($7.2 billion) this year, with a target of 39 billion reais. Analysts surveyed by LSEG forecast a 2025 adjusted profit of 39.2 billion reais. Banco do Brasil disclosed a fourth-quarter adjusted net profit of 9.58 billion reais, slightly higher than analysts' expectations. The bank's return on equity decreased to 20.8% from the previous year.

Additionally, Banco do Brasil approved a payout ratio of 40%-45% to shareholders for the current year, a slight decrease from 45% in the previous year. This update follows similar announcements by its major competitors, Santander Brasil, Bradesco, and Itau Unibanco, in recent weeks.
