Grupo Financiero Banorte delivered a stronger third quarter and added a new capital-return focus for investors. In its November 4 earnings call, management said it would seek approval for an extraordinary dividend equal to 20% of 2025 net income, or about MXN 4.18 per share. The details were reported by Reuters via Investing.com.

Banorte's July-to-September net income rose 20% year over year to MXN 15.66 billion, while performing loans increased 11% to MXN 1.33 trillion and deposits grew 13%. Management retained its 2026 net-income target of MXN 62 billion to MXN 64 billion and its loan-growth range of 8% to 11%.

Capital return adds a new focus

The proposed distribution would lift the full-year payout ratio to 70% if approved. Management linked the plan to strong organic capital generation and said the group was comfortable returning excess capital while maintaining flexibility for business expansion.

Operationally, mobile financial transactions increased 20% during the quarter. Net fees advanced 14% year over year, while the bank's net interest margin stood at 6.8%, the high end of its guidance. Management also said fourth-quarter loan growth should be more balanced and closer to the lower end of the annual range because much of the acceleration occurred in the third quarter.

Risks remain in credit costs

Banorte expects cost of risk to remain within its full-year range, although it could finish near the high end. The group also maintained its outlook for expenses to grow at a single-digit rate. For investors, the next report will show whether loan momentum, margins and provisions remain consistent with the unchanged profit target.
