Deutsche Bank posts Q3 2026 earnings beat with record revenue growth and €1.5 bn share buybacks

Deutsche Bank announced third‑quarter 2026 results on Oct. 28, showing net revenues of €8.3 billion, up 4% year‑over‑year, and profit before tax of €2.6 billion, an 8% increase. Earnings per share came in at $1.07, beating the $0.92 forecast, while diluted EPS was €0.94. All divisions delivered RoTE of 12% or higher and the bank completed €1.5 billion of share buybacks in 2026.

The earnings beat and higher EPS lifted Deutsche Bank’s share price, which rose 3.46% in pre‑market trading to $33.23. The €1.5 billion share buyback programme signals confidence in cash generation and may support shareholder returns.
