Commerzbank Launches Further Share Buyback Plan

Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft has announced a new share buyback initiative following a successful 2025 financial year, with a preliminary IFRS net result reaching EUR 2.63 billion. This move is designed to return a significant portion of earnings to shareholders, following plans to distribute 100% of IFRS net income, excluding restructuring costs, and after AT1 coupon payments totaling EUR 2.71 billion.

The bank has obtained necessary approvals to execute a buyback of shares worth up to EUR 540 million. The program will commence following the 2025 fiscal year report, with completion targeted by March 26, 2026. Additionally, a dividend proposal of EUR 1.10 per share will be presented at the Annual General Meeting.

Previously, by the end of 2025, EUR 1 billion worth of shares were repurchased. The continuation of this buyback program signals Commerzbank's intent to utilize excess capital effectively while enhancing shareholder value.
