Results date meets higher earnings base

EUToday reported on September 8, 2026, that UniCredit scheduled its third-quarter results board meeting for October 21, 2026. The meeting is also tied to the decision on the 2026 interim dividend, which the company has presented at EUR 2.8 billion in total cash distributions for the year.

The first-half presentation shows the operating profile behind that date. Second-quarter revenue was EUR 6.7 billion on the company presentation basis, while second-quarter cost to income was 35.2 percent and first-half return on capital was 19.7 percent, according to UniCredit.

Consensus target remains above the stock

Recent research has been more measured. finanzen.at reported on September 30, 2026, that Deutsche Bank Research raised its target from EUR 77.00 to EUR 78.00 while retaining a Hold rating. The change places the target close to the share price and contrasts with the broader consensus average.
