B3 stock: Santander lifts target to BRL 30 ahead of results

Santander has raised its target price for B3 stock and upgraded its recommendation, putting the Brazilian exchange operator in focus ahead of its next results update. Ground News, citing Money Times, reported on October 21, 2026 that Santander moved its stance from neutral to outperform and set a target of BRL 30 for the end of 2027.

The report said B3 shares had gained 37 percent over the preceding 30 days. The higher target reflects Santander's more constructive view, while the recommendation change signals that the bank sees further upside after the recent advance. The target remains an analyst assessment rather than a guaranteed outcome.

Results provide the next test

B3's investor-relations website lists November 13, 2026 as the date for its English-language conference call on third-quarter results. Investors will look for evidence that trading activity, fee income and margins can support the more optimistic valuation view.

B3 reported second-quarter net income of BRL 1.70 billion, up 28 percent from a year earlier, according to the company's topic page. The same page said revenue reached BRL 2.77 billion, giving the upcoming quarterly update a clear operating benchmark.
