Research Alert: CFRA Reaffirms Buy Rating On Adss Of Ing Groep

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We adjust our target price to USD34 from USD35, mainly due to EUR weakness vs. USD since our last update in January. This reflects a forward P/E of 12.1x our upgraded 2026 EPS forecast. We think the implied premium over ING's five-year historical average forward P/E of 8.9x is justified by its improved profitability and capital return potential. We raise our 2026 EPS forecast to EUR2.40 from EUR2.30 and 2027 to EUR2.80 from EUR2.70. The bank's strong start to 2026 provides powerful new evidence that reinforces our constructive thesis. The ability to deliver robust commercial growth, an upgraded NII outlook, and disciplined cost control demonstrates clear operational momentum. The immediate launch of a new EUR1.0 billion share buyback underscores a deep commitment to shareholder returns. We believe ING's combination of a proven digital advantage, accelerating income diversification, and a clear, de-risked path toward its >15% 2027 ROTE target makes it a top-tier investment in the European banking sector.

Research Alert: Ing Q1 Profit Beats On Fee Surge Despite Treasury Volatility

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ING posted a Q1 2026 net result beat at EUR1,556M (+6.9% Y/Y) vs. EUR1,425M consensus, though total income growth of 3.3% to EUR5,823M was hampered by lower other income (-41%) due to Treasury volatility. Strong commercial momentum led to EUR15.0B net core lending growth (8.3% annualized) and EUR7.2B deposit growth, while fee income surged 13% Y/Y to EUR1,236M across both Retail and Wholesale Banking divisions. Management confirmed upgraded 2026-2027 guidance, with Q1's EUR5.8B income representing a solid start toward the ~EUR24B annual target, despite seasonally elevated regulatory costs. The EUR1.0B share buyback program demonstrates disciplined capital management while maintaining the 13.0% CET1 ratio near the ~13% target. We believe ING's 13% fee income growth positions it favorably toward the 5%-10% annual growth target and over EUR5B goal for 2027, though execution risks remain as management's confidence relies on sustained volume growth offsetting margin pressures and Treasury volatility normalization.
