Peruvian Stock Exchange: Leading company Profit Growth to Slow in Thirdโค Quarter
Lima, Peru – Profit growth among Peru’s leading โcompanies listed on the BVL (Bolsa de Valores de Lima) is expected โฃto decelerate in โthe third quarter, marking the โฃslowest rate of expansion this year, according to economist Guillermo Westreicher Herrera. While corporate earnings remain robust, the extraordinary surge experienced in recent periods is unlikely to continue, โsignaling a potential shift in the economic landscape.
Theโค slowdown comes after a period of exceptional profitability, fueled by a strong economic rebound.However, Westreicher cautions that sustaining a 75% increase in net profits alongside 3% GDP growth โขis statistically improbable. This anticipated moderation impacts investors, businesses, andโ the overall Peruvian economy,โ perhaps influencingโ future investment decisions and economic forecasts.
Westreicher doesn’t foresee conditions triggering a significant price drop or necessitating increased financial provisions by companies. He believes the deceleration is a natural progression โtowards more normalized profit growth, rather than a sign โof impending economic distress.
According to Westreicher, a continuation of the โrecent profit surge would be “very rare” given the โฃcurrent economic context. He โsuggests profits will likely continue to rise, butโ at โa more โคsustainable pace moving forward.
