The Q2 beat is material and broad-based, with NIM expansion, provision reversals, and a one-off tax benefit. The buyback adds a floor. Key risk is the 15.5% COP appreciation headwind—watch for currency impact on Q3 loan growth and equity. Also monitor execution of the remaining 79.5% of the buyback and any updates on capital allocation from the Banistmo proceeds.

Executive Summary
Grupo Cibest reported strong Q2 2026 results, including the finalization of the Banistmo sale for USD 1.418 billion. Net income attributable to shareholders surged 87.38% QoQ to COP 2.7 trillion, driven by a 16.49% QoQ increase in net interest income to COP 6.04 trillion and a 91 bps expansion in NIM to 7.94%. The sell-side consensus is heavily skewed toward Hold, with only 10% bullish, suggesting the market was not positioned for this scale of beat.
