How to read these numbers

Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right. See how we grade analysts on earnings-call questions.

Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.

No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.

Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.

Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.

Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Show response

Lago attributed the reconciliation to better-than-expected asset quality and materially improved collections engines in Brazil, with similar gains expected in Mexico from Q4.

Calendar 2025 Q1

the debt renegotiation plan that you announced last month, Recomeco

Show response

Schroden pressed on Recomeco's P&L and asset-quality impact and moral hazard; David said it had no Q1 impact, is designed to avoid recidivism, and should be a small Q2 positive, unrelated to PIX financing.
