Commerzbank ( (DE:CBK) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Commerzbank reported a record operating result of €4.5bn for 2025, up 18%, with net profit of €2.6bn despite substantial restructuring costs tied to its “Momentum” transformation programme. Revenue grew 10% to €12.2bn, driven by higher commission income, resilient net interest income in a lower-rate environment, and strong growth at mBank, while the corporate loan book and securities business both expanded significantly.

The bank improved its cost-income ratio to 57% and maintained a stable risk profile with an unchanged 1.1% NPE ratio, supporting a higher capital return of about €2.7bn to shareholders via buybacks and a sharply increased dividend. Strategic investments in AI tools for customers and staff, a high take-up employee share scheme, and continued restructuring are reinforcing operational efficiency and digital capabilities, positioning Commerzbank for stronger profitability and an upgraded earnings outlook for 2026.
