OTP Bank (ISIN HU0000061726) was at EUR 110.83 at Lang & Schwarz on October 26, 2026 at 10:10 a.m. CET. The European Commission cleared the Hungarian bank's acquisition of Luminor Holding on October 13, 2026, according to MarketScreener.

Clearance advances Baltic expansion

The European Commission found that the transaction would not raise competition concerns because the combined market position would remain limited. The deal would give OTP Bank sole control of Estonia-based Luminor Holding, but the approval is one step in a broader regulatory process, as Brussels Times reported on October 13, 2026.

What does the deal mean for earnings?

The transaction adds a growth project to a bank that reported HUF 305.77 billion in net income for the second quarter of 2026, while revenue reached HUF 757.87 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. The profit figure was 40.35 percent of revenue for that quarter, based on the reported figures.

Three milestones shape the story

On July 20, 2026, OTP Bank announced an agreement to acquire 100 percent of Luminor Holding, according to TozsdeForum. On August 5, 2026, the bank reported results for the half year ended June 30, 2026, including the second-quarter profit of HUF 305.77 billion. On October 13, 2026, the European Commission cleared the Luminor acquisition.

Next date is November 10

OTP Bank's next substantiated reporting date is November 10, 2026, when it is scheduled to release third-quarter 2026 earnings, according to MarketScreener.
