Banca Sistema Reshapes Governance and Strengthens Asset Quality After CF+ Takeover

The latest update is out from Banca Sistema S.p.A. ( (IT:BST) ).

Banca Sistema reported first-quarter 2026 results marked by the successful completion of CF+’s voluntary exchange and cash offer, which secured 80.7% of its share capital and led to its inclusion in Gruppo Banca CF+. The bank’s governance was reshaped with the appointment of CEO and General Manager Iacopo De Francisco and a new board, while the Kruso Kapital Group was classified as held for sale, moving its contribution into discontinued operations.

Commercial activity strengthened, with factoring turnover up 29% year on year on the back of trade and tax receivables, despite a sharp decline in Ecobonus-related volumes, and new salary-backed loan production rising even as outstanding volumes fell. Asset quality improved, with lower gross bad loans and past-due positions, a reduced non-performing loan ratio, and higher NPE coverage, though net profit slipped to €3.8 million due to the absence of prior-year non-recurring income and higher factoring write-downs, underscoring a transition phase as the bank integrates into the CF+ group while seeking more resilient profitability.

The most recent analyst rating on (IT:BST) stock is a Buy with a EUR2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Banca Sistema S.p.A. stock, see the IT:BST Stock Forecast page.
