Price Target:
$33.00
▲(14.74% Upside)
Overall score driven primarily by mixed financial performance (notably leverage and negative free cash flow) balanced by favorable technical momentum and supportive valuation. The latest earnings call adds incremental strength via upgraded guidance and ongoing capital returns, tempered by higher risk costs and capital/RWA headwinds.
Positive Factors
Strong retail customer acquisition
Sustained digital customer additions expand low-cost deposit funding and deepen cross-sell opportunities across banking products. Persistent growth in mobile primary customers supports durable deposit stability, higher lifetime revenue per client, and a scalable channel for product adoption over the next several quarters.
Rising, diversified fee income
Higher recurring fee income reduces reliance on net interest margins and smooths revenue volatility from rates. Structural fee growth across Retail and Wholesale strengthens revenue mix, supports margin durability, and provides a steadier earnings base for reinvestment and shareholder returns over the medium term.
Improved capital buffer and active distributions
A stronger CET1 position plus completed and ongoing buybacks and dividends signal capital generation and management confidence. Maintaining a ~13% CET1 target provides regulatory headroom while disciplined distributions indicate durable capital management and shareholder-aligned capital allocation policy.
Negative Factors
Negative free cash flow
Persistently negative free cash flow suggests the bank struggles to convert accounting profits into cash, limiting internal funding for growth, buybacks or buffers. Over months this raises reliance on external funding and constrains flexibility to absorb shocks or opportunistic investments.
Relatively high leverage
Material leverage increases sensitivity to credit and market stress, raises regulatory capital consumption and reduces shock-absorption capacity. Over the medium term, elevated leverage can limit growth flexibility and necessitate tighter risk controls or higher capital targets, constraining strategic actions.
Wholesale credit deterioration
Rising Stage 3 provisions in Wholesale indicate emerging asset-quality pressure that can persist into future quarters. Increased defaults require higher provisioning, depress net income and ROE, and may force more conservative lending or higher pricing, affecting long-term earnings quality.

ING Groep Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Jan 29, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 30, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call communicated multiple strong operational and financial achievements — including robust customer acquisition (>1 million annually), double‑digit fee growth (15% FY, 22% Q4 YoY), record total income for the third consecutive year, solid NII (EUR 15.3 billion) and upgraded 2026–2027 guidance — underpinning upgraded profitability and continued shareholder distributions. At the same time, management disclosed several risks and challenges: notable Stage‑3 provisioning and elevated risk costs in Q4, a quarter‑on‑quarter decline in CET1 driven by distributions and RWA increases, deposit‑to‑loan mix pressure (loan growth outpacing deposits), cost/inflationary headwinds and uncertainty around liability margin pass‑through and treasury hedging income. Overall, the positive momentum, upgraded outlook and strong capital and shareholder return actions outweigh the listed headwinds, while the bank acknowledges and is taking steps to manage the highlighted risks.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Strong Customer and Deposit Growth
Added >350,000 mobile primary customers in Q4 and over 1 million customers for the full year; core deposits rose EUR 38.1 billion (+5.5% year‑on‑year) and Q4 retail deposits contributed EUR 11.3 billion, driven by targeted campaigns and seasonal inflows.
Robust Loan Growth
Absolute loan growth doubled versus the prior year, resulting in an 8.3% increase since the start of the year; net core lending in Q4 increased by EUR 20.4 billion (Retail +EUR 10.1 billion, Wholesale +EUR 10.3 billion), driven mainly by residential mortgages and stronger wholesale lending demand.
High Net Interest Income (NII)
Commercial NII remained very strong at EUR 15.3 billion for 2025; commercial NII grew almost 5% year‑on‑year in Q4 and increased more than EUR 100 million quarter‑on‑quarter.
Fee Income Momentum and Diversification
Fee income grew 15% for the full year and accounted for 20% of total income; Q4 fee growth was 22% year‑on‑year (17% excluding a EUR 66 million one‑off in Germany), supported by investment product uptake (9% growth in customers, 16% AUM growth, 22% more trades) and insurance/daily banking fees.
Record Total Income and Profitability
Total income reached a record level for the third consecutive year and Q4 total income was +7% versus prior year; full‑year net profit exceeded EUR 6.3 billion and return on equity for 2025 was 13.2%, above start‑of‑year guidance.
Capital Generation and Shareholder Returns
Delivered strong capital generation (contributing almost 2 percentage points to CET1) with 50% of EUR 6.3 billion profit distributed as regular cash dividends; additional distributions totaling EUR 3.6 billion announced, a share buyback underway, and 2025 share price rose by ~60%.
Upgraded and Clear Outlook for 2026–2027
2026 guidance: total income ~EUR 24 billion, fee income +5–10%, ROE ~14% and ROTE >14%; 2027 outlook: total income >EUR 25 billion, fee income >EUR 5 billion, operating expenses (ex‑incidentals) ~EUR 13 billion, ROE ~15% and ROTE >15%.
Operational Efficiency and Technology Gains
Improved operational leverage: FTE over customer balances ratio improved by >7% since 2023; increased straight‑through processing and chatbot/gen AI deployment reduced manual intervention, improved NPS (Retail #1 in 5/10 markets, Wholesale NPS 77) and are expected to drive further cost efficiencies.
Negative Updates
Higher Risk Costs and Stage 3 Provisions
Total risk costs were EUR 365 million in Q4 (≈20 bps of average customer lending). Net addition to Stage 3 provisions amounted to EUR 389 million, mainly due to individual Stage 3 provisioning for several new and existing funds in the Wholesale Bank; Stage 3 ratio increased slightly.
CET1 Ratio Pressure and RWA Increase
Core Tier 1 declined quarter‑on‑quarter after a EUR 1.6 billion distribution and RWA increased by ~EUR 4.5 billion this quarter (credit RWA +EUR 1.5 billion excluding FX, operational RWA +EUR 2.2 billion, market RWA +EUR 0.5 billion), contributing to CET1 dilution.
Loan Growth Outpacing Deposit Growth
Lending growth (≈8.3% since start of year) outpaced deposit growth (core deposits +5.5% for full year), raising questions about balance sheet mix and the need for continued deposit campaigns and liquidity management.
Margin and Liability‑Margin Uncertainty
Management guided liability margin to the lower end of 100–110 bps for 2026 and did not give a firm 2027 liability margin outlook; deposit competition and pass‑through uncertainties were raised repeatedly by analysts and remain a risk to NII upside.
Treasury and Other Income Headwinds
Treasury income was impacted by lower results from foreign currency hedging and some seasonal softness in 'other income' (financial markets income client‑driven but seasonally lower), reducing non‑NII contributions.
Incidental and Inflationary Cost Pressures
Inflationary pressure is expected to impact staff expenses in 2026; one‑off incidental items and restructuring provisions were recognized in Q4 (with expected ~EUR 100 million annualized savings once implemented), and there was investor uncertainty about the level and frequency of incidentals moving forward.
High Cost Growth in Some Markets (Germany)
German retail exhibited notable cost growth (~11% year‑on‑year in 2025) due to client acquisition and product investments, prompting questions about whether spend is defensive versus competitors and about near‑term margin impact in Germany.
Wholesale Fee and Seasonality Effects
Wholesale banking fees decreased sequentially in Q4 (though still strong year‑on‑year for the quarter) and working‑capital driven lending can be lumpy and lower margin; some Q4 wholesale provisioning related to funds highlights exposure concentrations.
Company Guidance
ING guided to total income of around EUR 24 billion in 2026 (assumed customer balance growth ~5% p.a., fees +5–10%, liability margin at the lower end of 100–110 bps, lending margin broadly stable and “other income” ~2.8 billion ex‑incidentals), with operating cost measures cited as EUR 12.6–12.8 billion excluding incidentals (and, more narrowly, EUR 11.6–11.8 billion excluding incidentals and regulatory items), a CET1 target of ~13% and returns of ROE 14% and ROTE >14% (2025 ROTE delta ~40 bps); for 2027 management upgraded targets to total income >EUR 25 billion (fees >EUR 5 billion), operating expenses excl. incidentals around EUR 13 billion, ROE 15% and ROTE >15%, while maintaining a 50% payout policy, continuing SRTs (expected to add ~15–20 bps to CET1 in 2026), and executing additional distributions/share buybacks (EUR 3.6 billion announced, EUR 500 million paid, buyback completing Apr 2026) with a proposed final cash dividend of EUR 0.736 per share.

ING Groep Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Mixed fundamentals: strong reported revenue growth and decent profitability (ROE ~12.7%, EBIT margin ~14%), but elevated leverage (debt-to-equity ~3.4) and weak cash generation with negative operating and free cash flow.
Income Statement
72
Positive
ING Groep has shown a mixed performance in terms of revenue and profit growth. The recent annual report indicates a significant jump in total revenue to 66.4 billion, which implies strong revenue growth. However, the net profit margin stands at approximately 9.6%, which is moderate for the industry. The gross profit margin has decreased to approximately 34.1% from previous years, indicating potential cost management issues. Despite this, the company maintains a healthy EBIT margin of around 14%.
Balance Sheet
67
Positive
The balance sheet reveals a robust equity base with a stockholders' equity of 50.3 billion and a total assets base exceeding 1 trillion. However, the debt-to-equity ratio is relatively high at approximately 3.4, indicating significant leverage. The equity ratio is moderate at around 4.9%, reflecting a stable but not overly strong equity position relative to total assets. Return on equity is around 12.7%, which is healthy but leaves room for improvement.
Cash Flow
60
Neutral
Cash flow analysis shows significant negative free cash flow, primarily due to substantial negative operating cash flow. The operating cash flow to net income ratio is negative, indicating cash flow challenges. The free cash flow to net income ratio is also negative, suggesting that the company might be struggling to generate cash relative to its net income.
