ING Groep N.V. (NL0011794037) stock is trading firmly after the bank reported a clear profit beat for Q2 2026 and raised its guidance for 2026 and 2027, while the Amsterdam-listed shares most recently closed at EUR 31.75 as of September 3, 2026 according to market data.
Q2 2026 earnings beat and margin strength
In its most recent quarterly update for Q2 2026, ING Groep reported revenue of USD 6.26 billion and net earnings of USD 1.95 billion, underlining a solid operating performance in the current year according to data compiled from recent coverage.
The quarter delivered earnings per share of USD 0.77 versus an estimate of USD 0.74, meaning ING Groep beat consensus by USD 0.03 per share in Q2 2026 and confirmed its ability to translate volume growth into bottom-line results.
On that basis, the profit margin reached 31.12 percent in Q2 2026, a level that highlights how the bank’s mix of retail and wholesale banking remains profitable in the current interest-rate environment.
Guidance raised for 2026 and 2027
Alongside the Q2 2026 figures, ING Groep updated its outlook and raised guidance for 2026 and 2027, signaling that management expects the earnings momentum to continue on the back of growing customer balances and fee income.
The raised guidance for 2026 and 2027 gives investors a clearer path for future dividends and buybacks and suggests that current profitability levels in Q2 2026 are not seen as a one-off.
For retail investors, the combination of a Q2 2026 earnings beat, a 31.12 percent margin and higher medium-term guidance is a central part of the investment case in ING Groep stock.

Representative product and customer growth
One representative part of ING Groep’s business is its digital retail banking platform, which continues to attract new customers and deposits, feeding into the higher customer balances mentioned in the Q2 2026 update.
Growth in those retail balances is a key driver behind the USD 6.26 billion in quarterly revenue and the 31.12 percent profit margin reported for Q2 2026, because it supports net interest income and fee income.
