Commerzbank stock holds near its 52-week high

Commerzbank stock traded at EUR 39.51 on August 18, 2026, after a recent surge in market attention around UniCredit's stake and Berlin's 12.7% holding.

Commerzbank AG (DE000CBK1001) traded at EUR 39.51 on August 18, 2026, while the latest close was EUR 39.61 on August 17, 2026, and the 52-week range stood at EUR 29.19 to EUR 40.10. The shares also showed a 1-month return of 7.49 percent and a year-to-date gain of 9.72 percent.

UniCredit stake pressure

German officials are open to discussing the possible sale of Berlin's 12.7 percent Commerzbank stake to UniCredit if the two lenders can agree on a shared strategy, according to a Bloomberg report on August 17, 2026. The same report said UniCredit's position had risen to 47.6 percent of shares and 49.7 percent of voting rights after an additional acceptance period.

That detail matters because it turns the bank's stock into a stake-and-control story, not only a turnaround story. The share price sat just 1.1 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 40.10 on August 18, 2026.

Latest reported figures

The most recent financial snapshot available in the market data set shows market cap at EUR 44.84 billion, revenue at EUR 24.54K on a trailing basis, and net income at EUR 3.36K on a trailing basis. The same source lists diluted EPS at EUR 2.77 and a return on equity of 10.25 percent.

Commerzbank's annual revenue series in the same data set shows EUR 24.671 billion for fiscal 2025, down 5.4 percent from EUR 26.086 billion in fiscal 2024, while diluted EPS was EUR 2.06 in both fiscal years. That puts the current market valuation against a year-over-year revenue decline and flat EPS at the latest annual point in the series.

Business focus

Commerzbank's core model still rests on private and small-business banking and corporate clients, with the business description pointing to universal banking services in Germany and beyond. Investors are watching whether the share price can hold close to the EUR 40 area while the takeover backdrop stays in the headlines.

Commerzbank stock traded at EUR 39.51 on August 18, 2026, after opening at EUR 39.70, with daily range data of EUR 39.51 to EUR 39.80 and market cap at EUR 44.84 billion.
