The Q3 earnings decline was driven by higher costs and provisions, but the YTD trend remains positive and guidance was modestly improved on NIM and efficiency. Monitor the impact of the corporate tax rate change (estimated Ch$68,000 million charge in October 2026) and delinquency trends in the retail segment, which remain elevated.
