Latest Banco Santander-Chile Stock News

As of September 10, 2026, Banco Santander-Chile had a $16.6 billion market capitalization, putting it in the 84th percentile of companies in the Banks industry.

Banco Santander-Chile does not have a meaningful P/E due to negative earnings over the last 12 trailing months. Banco Santander-Chile’s trailing 12-month revenue is $2.6 billion with a 47.2% profit margin. Year-over-year quarterly sales growth most recently was 21.5%. Analysts expect adjusted earnings to reach $2.885 per share for the current fiscal year. Banco Santander-Chile currently has a 4.2% dividend yield.

The outlook for Diversified Banks is relatively positive as the commercial loan activity and credit risk gradually improves in 2021 and on into 2022. The most established banks were able to weather the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic and look to grow in the wake of recovery. One sign of this includes loan loss reversals potentially having a positive impact on future earnings. As the Federal Reserve plans to keep rates near zero well into 2022, banks will see less net interest income (NII). NII accounts for about 50-60% of revenue for these banks. The wider spread between the cost of borrowing and lending or loan volume activity may partly offset these lower rates. Looking ahead, banks are facing significantly less uncertainty which should help them be more profitable, embrace for upcoming NII trends, and help them generate non-NII fee income. Despite low rates, mortgage origination and automobile loans factor to be major drivers of consumer loan growth. Commercial loans are expected to grow by 1-3% in the second quarter of 2021 alone. Another driver is credit card activity, which has already begun to rise due to the lifting of COVID-19 travel restrictions. Return of capital is accelerating in the second half of 2021 following the Fed’s Dodd Frank Stress Test (DFAST) results. As expected, all 23 large banks tested remained well above their risk-based minimum capital requirements and other restrictions put in place during Covid-19. All large banks are subject to the normal restrictions of the Fed’s stress capital buffer (SCB) framework, which sets the return of capital guidelines. The largest banks, like JPM, are well above the SCB, so we have seen material increases in dividends and share repurchases.

Banco Santander-Chile Stock Quality Grade

Like the Value Grade, AAII’s A+ Investor Quality Grade comes from the percentile rank of key metrics. Specifically, the Quality Grade is the percentile rank of the average of the percentile ranks of return on assets (ROA), return on invested capital (ROIC), gross profit relative to assets, buyback yield, change in total liabilities to assets, accruals, Z double prime bankruptcy risk (Z) score and F-Score.

The score is variable, meaning it can consider all eight measures or, should any of the eight measures not be valid, the remaining measures that are valid. To be assigned a Quality Score, stocks must have a valid (non-null) measure and corresponding ranking for at least four of the eight quality measures.

The Quality Score is used to assess the underlying “quality” of a particular stock. A higher quality stock possesses traits associated with upside potential and reduced downside risk. Backtesting of the Quality Grade shows that stocks with higher grades, on average, outperformed stocks with lower grades over the period of 1998 through 2019.

Stocks receive better grades (higher scores) for having higher scores for the quality subcomponents and worse grades (lower scores) for lower scores for the subcomponents.

Banco Santander-Chile has a Quality Score of 7, which is Very Weak.

Banco Santander-Chile Stock Momentum Grade

Momentum grades help uncover stocks experiencing anomalously high rates of return; research finds that stocks with high relative levels of momentum tend to outperform, whereas those with low levels of momentum tend to continue underperforming. Momentum is based on the price change of a stock over a specified period relative to all other stocks.

Typically, AAII looks at the weighted relative strength over the trailing four quarters. The weighted four-quarter relative strength rank is the relative price change for each of the past four quarters. The most recent quarterly price change is given a weight of 40% and each of the three previous quarters are given a weighting of 20%.

Banco Santander-Chile has a Momentum Score of 71, which is Strong.

Banco Santander-Chile Stock Earnings Estimate Revisions Grade

The Earnings Estimate Revisions Score considers the magnitude of a company’s earnings surprise in its last two reported fiscal quarters. Often, positive surprises beget further positive surprises‐or at least continued sales growth (the exact opposite is generally true, too).

Estimate revisions offer an indication of what analysts are thinking about the short-term prospects of a firm. The Earnings Estimate Revisions Score is based on the statistical significance of a firm’s last two quarterly earnings surprises and the percentage change in its consensus estimate for the current fiscal year over the past month and past three months.

Banco Santander-Chile has an Earnings Estimate Revisions Score of 64, which is Positive.

Other Banco Santander-Chile Stock Grades

In addition to Momentum, Estimate Revisions and Quality, A+ Investor also provides grades for Value and Growth.

Growth investing builds on the idea that stocks of companies exhibiting strong, consistent and prolonged growth outperform those of slower—growth companies. AAII measures several dimensions of growth in its Growth Grade, including year—over—year increases in sales and earnings, long(er)—term historical sales and earnings growth rates and analyst‐forecasted long—term earnings growth.

Successful stock investing involves buying low and selling high, so stock valuation is an important consideration for stock selection. Buying stocks that are going to go up typically means buying stocks that are undervalued in the first place, although momentum investors may argue that point.

These 2 key factors, when combined with the above, provide a holistic view into a stock. Further, by joining A+ Investor you can see whether Banco Santander-Chile’s stock passes any of our 60+ stock screens that have outperformed the market since their creation.
