Grupo Aval Reports Q3 2026 Earnings Amid Retail Expansion and Legal Resolution
Grupo Aval (AVAL) reported a third-quarter attributable net income of 368 billion Colombian pesos, representing a 29% year-over-year decline primarily due to lower investment returns. Despite the earnings dip, the bank saw significant growth in its core lending and asset management sectors, driven largely by the integration of Itau's Colombian retail assets which contributed COP 6.3 trillion in net loans. The company also achieved major operational milestones through the merger of four trust subsidiaries into Aval Fiduciaria, resulting in cost synergies equal to 40% of its cost base and a return on equity of 42.3%. Additionally, a significant legal overhang was removed following a U.S. court's dismissal of the deferred prosecution agreement against subsidiary Corficolombiana regarding the Ruta del Sol 2 project.
