Analysis · ING · Finance
A 16% year-on-year surge in net profit to €1.95 billion underscores ING Groep's strong commercial momentum in 2Q2026, prompting management to raise both the 2026 and 2027 outlooks. The IFRS-EU net result climbed 12% to €3.5 billion, fueled by a 14% rise in net interest income and a 13% increase in fee income, while risk costs stayed low at 17 basis points. Under IFRS-IASB, the net result declined 19% to €3.2 billion, entirely due to a non-cash IAS 39 carve-out adjustment—not operational weakness. With a CET1 ratio of 13.1%, capital remains robust, supporting an interim dividend of €0.40 per share and an ongoing €1.0 billion buyback. Lending and deposit volumes expanded across retail and wholesale banking, and credit quality held firm despite geopolitical uncertainty.
