In brief
XP Inc. reported adjusted net profit of R$1.384 billion for the second quarter of 2026, up 5% from the same period of 2025, with gross revenue of R$5.05 billion, an 8% advance. The figures appear in the company's results materials and were confirmed by Neofeed, with InfoMoney — an outlet of the XP group itself — treated in this coverage as an issuer source.
Per Neofeed, the quarter combined wholesale acceleration with a steady retail pace, in an environment where the rate cycle favors fixed income and pressures the platform's risk-product revenue.
The result was released on the evening of August 17 and enters this edition under the 96-hour reconfirmation rule, after independent confirmation was obtained. Return-on-equity readings diverge across coverage and stayed out of the claims.

Transmission to assets
Market read-through
For XP's shares, moderately rising profit with faster revenue growth suggests margin pressure; the unlock thesis depends on rate cuts reviving risk products and on wholesale gains.
For the platform sector, the quarter reinforces that the cycle favors banks with cheap funding and fixed-income issuers, while distributors depend on mix and scale.
Portfolio impact
01Moderate profit growth with accelerating revenue signals a resilient platform with margins pressured by the fixed-income mix.
The direction is uncertain because the result is solid but lacks a clear catalyst in the current cycle.
What would change the view: The reading improves with rate cuts and a risk-product recovery; it worsens if inflows and margins stay squeezed.
Direction is an explanatory hypothesis, not a forecast or recommendation.
