The latest announcement is out from Commerzbank ( (DE:CBK) ).
Commerzbank has completed a €524m share buyback, its sixth to date, repurchasing 15,676,410 shares, or 1.39% of its share capital, at an average price of about €33.45, with plans to cancel the shares later. Together with a previous buyback concluded in December and a proposed record dividend of around €1.2bn, the bank is assembling a sizeable return package for investors.
The lender expects to return a total of €2.7bn to shareholders for the 2025 financial year, equal to 100% of net profit before restructuring expenses and after Additional Tier 1 coupon payments. If shareholders approve a dividend of €1.10 per share in May, Commerzbank will have distributed roughly €5.8bn for 2022–2025 and, under its “Momentum” strategy, aims to maintain a 100% payout ratio on net result for 2026 through 2028, underscoring an aggressive capital-return stance that could support its equity valuation and appeal to income-focused investors.
