Deutsche Bank posts Q3 profit beat and confirms €33 bn revenue target

Deutsche Bank reported third‑quarter pretax profit of €2.63 billion, roughly 10% above the €2.39 billion consensus, and net revenues of €8.34 billion, up 4% year‑on‑year. Diluted earnings per share came in at €0.94 versus the €0.77 estimate. The bank’s CET1 capital ratio was 14.0% and it completed a €1.5 billion share‑buyback programme for 2026 while reaffirming its full‑year revenue goal of more than €33 billion.

The profit and revenue beat signal strong earnings momentum and may support the bank’s dividend and buy‑back policy (the company said the buy‑back was completed). The 14% CET1 ratio underscores solid capital strength, which could ease regulatory constraints on future growth.
