SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Brazilian stock exchange operator B3 SA Brasil Bolsa Balcao on Thursday reported a slight decline in second-quarter recurring net profit, as falling trading volumes reflected higher interest rates, but still beating analysts’ estimates.
B3’s recurring net profit came in at 1.34 billion reais ($259.76 million), above the Refinitiv forecast of 1.23 billion reais.
