Banco Bradesco SA ( (BBD) ) has issued an update.
On July 29, 2026, Banco Bradesco S.A.’s board approved a share capital increase of up to R$10 billion through the private subscription of 302.9 million new common shares and 302.0 million new preferred shares, all within the authorized capital. The transaction includes issue prices of R$15.43 for common shares and R$17.64 for preferred shares, with a minimum subscription threshold of R$8 billion that would allow partial approval and cancellation of any unsubscribed shares.
Shareholders as of August 4, 2026 will be able to exercise preemptive rights between August 6 and September 4, 2026 at a ratio of 5.721967934% of their holdings, or trade these rights on B3 from August 6 to September 1, 2026. New shares must be paid in cash via Bradesco accounts or PIX, or by offsetting credits from interest on shareholders’ equity declared in March and June 2026, and they will be entitled to full dividends and other distributions once the capital increase is approved by the Central Bank of Brazil.
Bradesco is using its Digital Documents Portal to handle subscription procedures for shareholders on its registry, offering online access for exercising rights and reserving unsubscribed shares. The detailed allocation process for any unsubscribed shares, including possible auctions, will be disclosed later, underscoring the bank’s effort to strengthen its capital base and support future operations while giving existing investors the opportunity to maintain or expand their stakes.

Spark’s Take on BBD Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BBD is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weak financial quality—especially persistently negative operating and free cash flow and high leverage—alongside bearish technical signals (below major moving averages and negative MACD). These risks are partly offset by relatively attractive valuation (low P/E) and a high dividend yield.
