B3 stock (ISIN BRB3SAACNOR6) last closed at BRL 23.65 on B3 on October 23, 2026. The latest catalyst is Santander's target increase, which puts the exchange operator's earnings outlook under closer scrutiny.
Target rises on volume outlook
According to Investing.com on October 21, 2026, Santander raised its target for B3 from BRL 19.00 for the end of 2026 to BRL 30.00 for the end of 2027 and changed its recommendation from Neutral to Outperform. The bank's 2027 net income estimate of BRL 8.20 billion stood 31.00 percent above consensus.
The thesis rests on higher trading activity. Santander cited average daily financial volume of BRL 66.00 billion in October and projected adjusted net income of BRL 1.43 billion for the third quarter of 2026, 10.00 percent above the same quarter of 2025. The counter-factor is execution: the bank used a lower daily volume assumption of BRL 35.00 billion for November and December.
Three dated earnings and cash events
On August 13, 2026, Simply Wall St reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of BRL 2.77 billion, up 8.80 percent year over year, and net income of BRL 1.70 billion, up 28.00 percent. On October 7, 2026, the same source listed a BRL 0.32 per-share payment date for shareholder distributions. On October 21, 2026, Santander's revised target became the latest event.
What comes next for earnings?
Forbes Brasil listed B3's next reporting date as November 12, 2026, after the market closes. That date gives investors a direct test of whether the second-quarter revenue growth and higher trading activity are translating into the profit trajectory embedded in Santander's target.
