Deutsche Bank's strong 2026 EBIT of €11.59 billion reflects a broader trend of stable earnings for Germany's largest banks. Scope Ratings projects this stability will continue, supported by steady net interest income and growth in fee and commission income. They anticipate a moderate decline in the return on risk-weighted assets to 2.1% in 2026. The bank expects its net interest income to reach approximately €14 billion in 2026, up from €13.7 billion in 2025. This increase is driven by targeted portfolio growth in deposits and loans. However, this is slightly below the Visible Alpha consensus of €14.6 billion. Full-year revenue is expected to climb to around €33 billion, up from €32.1 billion. Deutsche Bank is focused on increasing shareholder returns, planning to raise its payout ratio to 60% starting in 2025. This will include modest growth in dividends per share and share buybacks. Over €8 billion is expected to be returned to shareholders through fiscal year 2026. Looking ahead, Deutsche Bank anticipates a "modest increase" in Corporate Bank revenue in 2026, with growth accelerating throughout the year. Investment Bank revenue is projected to be slightly higher than in 2025, with a strong pipeline in Q1 2026. The bank's emphasis on AI-driven models positions it favorably amid increasing AI investment.
