Price Chart
Executive Summary
Deutsche Bank provided a Q2 2026 business update, guiding for FY 2026 group revenues around €33bn and expenses slightly above €21bn. The bank expects Q2 revenue growth across most divisions, while absorbing ~€100m in costs and credit loss provisions from portfolio exits. Fitch's two-notch rating upgrade to A+ and a stable capital outlook (CET1 13.5-14.0%) support the credit profile.
Key Facts
- FY 2026 expense guidance reiterated at slightly above €21bn, with €0.9bn planned investments.
- Q2 2026 expected to include ~€100m expense impact from business exits and ~€100m in credit loss provisions from exiting non-performing exposures.
- Group FY 2026 revenue guidance maintained at around €33bn, with NII and other funding growing to €14bn.
- CET1 ratio expected to remain in 13.5-14.0% range for remainder of FY 2026; 60% payout target already being deducted.
- Fitch upgraded Deutsche Bank's Long-Term IDR to A+ from A- on May 12, 2026; outlook revised to Positive on April 30.
