Campbell & CO Investment Adviser LLC significantly increased its stake in Banco de Chile during the second quarter of 2025, boosting its position by 185.3% to 26,095 shares valued at approximately $794,000. This move reflects growing confidence from institutional investors, though it stands in contrast to recent earnings performance that has disappointed market expectations.

Banco de Chile reported Q3 earnings per share (EPS) of $0.60, falling short of the expected $0.62 and marking a slight earnings shortfall. Revenue came in at $675.3 million, significantly below the projected $832.0 million. Despite this, the bank maintains strong profitability metrics, with a return on equity (ROE) of 23.25% and a net margin of 32.87%. Analysts have generally adopted a cautious yet positive stance, with a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" and an average price target of $34.

Analysts project limited but positive movement in the coming months. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan have both raised their price targets to $35 and $33 respectively, while Zacks upgraded its recommendation to "Strong Buy." These adjustments suggest a belief in the bank's ability to recover from the recent earnings shortfall and demonstrate value for long-term holders.
