ING stock rises as buyback reaches 65 percent

ING stock advances on a buyback that has reached 64.98 percent of the program. The shares traded at EUR 31.10 on September 2, 2026, while Q2 2026 EPS came in at 0.77 and revenue at 6.26 billion.

ING Groep N.V. (NL0011821202) stock traded at EUR 31.10 on September 2, 2026, while the bank said its EUR 1.0 billion buyback had reached 64.98 percent completion after repurchasing 23,570,805 shares. The same update put the weekly buyback pace at 1,075,000 shares at an average EUR 30.17.

Buyback pace stays high

According to Ad hoc News, the latest repurchase update also showed cumulative buybacks at EUR 649.8 million, with an average buyback price of EUR 27.57. That is a concrete signal for capital return: the bank has already used about two thirds of its planned program and still has roughly EUR 350 million left to deploy.

The market price reflected that support. ING shares were up 29.06 percent year to date on the same Tradegate reference, and the stock traded within the EUR 30.06 to EUR 30.74 day range on Euronext Amsterdam in Yahoo Finance data for September 2, 2026.

Q2 2026 gives the backdrop

For operating momentum, Yahoo Finance shows Q2 FY26 revenue of 6.26 billion USD, earnings of 1.95 billion USD and earnings per share of 0.77, versus an estimate of 0.74. That is a 0.03 EPS beat in the most recent reported quarter and a profit margin of 31.12 percent.

The latest analyst readthrough in the same market set points to a current average target of 33.83 and a high of 37.50. MarketBeat also reported a Morgan Stanley upgrade to overweight, which fits the stronger share-price backdrop and the ongoing buyback.

Retail banking is the engine

ING describes itself as a diversified bank with retail operations in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and other European markets, plus wholesale banking. Yahoo Finance also lists revenue of 25.21 billion USD trailing and net income attributable to common shareholders of 8.7 billion USD, which frames the scale of the franchise behind the current buyback.

Stock stays close to the top

ING stock changed hands at EUR 31.10 on September 2, 2026, with a 52-week range of EUR 20.23 to EUR 31.22 and market capitalization of EUR 87.197 billion on Yahoo Finance. The share price sat EUR 0.12 below the 52-week high, while the 31.12 percent profit margin in Q2 FY26 and the 0.03 EPS beat over consensus help explain the valuation support.
