Shares of Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior SA (BLX) surged 5.08% in intraday trading, as the company announced a significant debt issuance and received positive analyst coverage. The stock's strong performance comes amid growing investor confidence in the bank's expansion strategy and financial outlook.
BLX revealed a new issuance of Certificados Bursátiles de Largo Plazo (Cebures) in the Mexican capital markets, valued at MXN 4 billion (approximately $215.2 million). The three-year notes carry a floating rate coupon of the one-business-day TIIE de Fondeo plus 59 basis points.

Adding to the positive sentiment, Grupo Santander initiated coverage of Banco Latinoamericano with an Outperform rating and a price target of $55. This bullish stance from a major financial institution further bolsters investor confidence in BLX's potential. The combination of the successful debt issuance and favorable analyst coverage appears to have fueled the stock's impressive intraday gain, reflecting growing optimism about Bladex's strategic initiatives and market positioning in Latin America and the Caribbean.
