BNP Paribas (ISIN FR0000131104) was trading at EUR 93.31 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 10:32 a.m. CEST, down 2.23 percent from EUR 95.44. On September 23, 2026, BNP Paribas confirmed its 2028 targets at a Bank of America conference, according to BFM Bourse.
2028 targets set the direction
The bank targets annual earnings per share growth of more than 10.00 percent from 2025 through 2028. It also aims for a cost-income ratio below 56.00 percent and a return on tangible equity above 13.00 percent in 2028, compared with 12.00 percent in 2026.
The same September 23 report said BNP Paribas plans to present a new strategic plan on February 2, 2027. The targets give the market a measurable test for execution, with efficiency and capital returns carrying more weight than a single quarter's result.
Second-quarter growth remains strong
In the second quarter of 2026, group net banking income reached EUR 14.09 billion, up 12.00 percent from the second quarter of 2025, according to BNP Paribas. Net income attributable to the group rose 33.40 percent to EUR 4.35 billion from EUR 3.26 billion, while the cost-income ratio improved to 56.70 percent.
The CET1 ratio stood at 13.00 percent on June 30, 2026, and return on tangible equity reached 13.30 percent. The combination of double-digit revenue growth and higher profitability supports the 2028 targets, although delivery will depend on keeping operating costs below the planned threshold.
Results date meets a weaker quote
BNP Paribas has scheduled its third-quarter 2026 results for October 28, 2026, according to BNP Paribas. The bank's market capitalization was EUR 102.4 billion as of October 7, 2026, while its 52-week range was EUR 65.12 to EUR 113.82.
At EUR 93.31, the Lang & Schwarz quote stood 17.99 percent below the 52-week high. The next results release will provide the first fresh operating check on the path from the second-quarter figures to the longer-term targets.
