Intesa Sanpaolo stock was trading at EUR 6.30 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 4:07 p.m. CEST, down 1.56 percent from the EUR 6.40 prior close. On September 30, 2026, Intesa Sanpaolo said its board had approved partial demergers in favor of wholly owned Ghibli LeaseCo and Kallipos LeaseCo.

Two subsidiaries receive the assets

The company said the board approved the transactions at a meeting held on September 29, 2026, and that registration with the Turin Company Register was filed on September 30, 2026. The announcement gives investors a concrete corporate-structure event while the share price remains below the EUR 6.40 Lang & Schwarz reference close.

The demerger follows regulatory and shareholder steps disclosed in September. Intesa Sanpaolo's investor-relations calendar lists October 30, 2026, for approval of the interim statement covering the nine months to September 30 and a decision on an interim dividend, according to the company financial calendar.

Profit guidance stays above EUR 10 billion

In the first half of 2026, net income reached EUR 5.6 billion, up 6 percent from EUR 5.2 billion in the first half of 2025. The earnings-call transcript also reported EUR 2.8 billion of net income in the second quarter of 2026 and an upgraded full-year 2026 net income outlook above EUR 10 billion, as reported by Yahoo Finance.

That earnings base provides the operating counterweight to the September demerger process. Management also described a planned EUR 9.4 billion return to shareholders through dividends and buybacks during 2026, while earnings per share increased 9 percent year over year in the first half.

Jefferies lifts its target to EUR 8.00
