Three events shaped 2026
On August 4, 2026, Alior Bank reported H1 2026 revenue of PLN 2.86 billion and net income of PLN 769.82 million, according to stockd. On September 29, 2026, the bank announced a senior eurobond issue with a nominal value of up to EUR 500 million, according to Bankier.pl. On September 30, 2026, Fitch raised the long-term national rating to A(pol) from A-(pol) alongside the investment-grade upgrade.
What does the upgrade change?
The rating move gives the bank an investment-grade long-term issuer assessment, with a stable outlook. Fitch linked the decision to a more balanced business mix, improved asset quality and progress in addressing legacy issues, while also citing above-average margins, reasonable cost efficiency and stabilizing costs of risk in the medium term.
The H1 comparison carries a clear pressure point: net income fell 31.10 percent year over year to PLN 769.82 million. The stockd analysis attributes the decline mainly to the increase in the bank tax rate from 19 percent to 30 percent in 2026.
