ING Groep N.V. (NL0011794037) stock traded at EUR 30.89 on August 14, 2026, with a market value of EUR 88.256 billion and a 52-week range of 20.22 to 31.22. The bank's latest update adds a second number to watch: its €1 billion buyback program is already 56% complete.

ING buyback update reported by TipRanks shows that ING repurchased 975,000 shares between August 10 and August 14, 2026, at an average price of €30.80, for about €30 million. Since the program began, the bank has bought back 20,740,193 shares at an average of €27.21, equal to roughly €564 million.

Q2 delivery

Yahoo Finance data for ING Groep shows Q2 FY26 revenue of $6.26 billion and earnings of $1.95 billion, while adjusted EPS was $0.68 against an estimate of $0.65. That is a 3 cent beat on earnings per share, and it gives the buyback a clearer earnings backdrop.

The same data set lists trailing revenue of $25.21 billion, net income of $8.7 billion, and diluted EPS of $2.31, with a trailing P/E of 13.37. The valuation sits close to the stock's 52-week high, so the market is paying more attention to capital returns and execution than to a deep discount.

Capital returns

The share repurchase remains the most visible catalyst because it reduces share count while the bank keeps generating profits. A program that has already used €564 million of the planned €1 billion gives investors a concrete pace to track.

Product focus

ING's retail banking platform and wholesale banking franchise remain the core engines behind the numbers. The mix matters because loan demand, fees, and capital distribution all feed into the same equity story.

Stock level

ING Groep stock closed at EUR 30.89 on August 14, 2026, after a daily gain of 0.21%. The share price also sat above its 1-year range midpoint and just below the 52-week high of EUR 31.22.
