BNP Paribas

BNP Paribas Bank Polska reported a net profit of PLN 600 million in Q2 2026 (H1: PLN 975 million) and saw net banking income rise by more than 3% quarter-on-quarter. The bank added 122,000 new retail customers in the first half, maintained a stable net interest margin and recorded loan growth of over 2%. However, a European Court of Justice (EuGH) ruling expense of PLN 42 million and operating costs rising above the inflation rate weigh on profitability. Management emphasizes disciplined growth under the "Accelerate 2030" strategy with a focus on quality, price discipline and capital strength. » Altro su de.investing.com

BNP Paribas posted a net profit of about €4.3 billion in the second quarter, an increase of one third from a year earlier. Revenues rose 12 percent to €14.1 billion, with equity trading boosting revenues by 43 percent to €1.4 billion. Despite the improved figures, the stock fell just under two percent at midday. The bank raised provisions for credit losses by €949 million, partly due to the fallout from the Iran war, and costs rose more than expected. » Altro su finanzen.net
