Growth follows strong second-quarter figures

BNP Paribas reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of EUR 14.10 billion, up 12.00 percent from the year-earlier quarter. Net income rose 33.40 percent to EUR 4.30 billion, while the CET1 ratio reached 13.00 percent, according to Quartr.

The earnings mix was broad. In second-quarter 2026, Corporate and Institutional Banking revenue increased 13.00 percent year over year to EUR 5.30 billion, while Investment and Protection Services revenue rose 27.00 percent, according to FSM Global. The same report put the second-quarter cost-income ratio at 56.70 percent and noted that the reported profit included an EUR 858.00 million capital gain.

What does the capital position mean?

The 13.00 percent CET1 ratio gives BNP Paribas a clear capital reference ahead of its next report. FSM Global said the ratio was 12.80 percent in the first quarter of 2026, so the second-quarter level represented a 0.20 percentage-point increase. The report also identified leverage, rather than CET1, as the tighter balance-sheet constraint.
