UniCredit stock (ISIN IT0005239360) was last at EUR 77.35 on Borsa Italiana in Milan on October 7, 2026, at 1:48 p.m. CEST, down 4.64 percent from the prior close. The next scheduled checkpoint is October 21, 2026, when UniCredit is listed to publish third-quarter results, according to finanzen.ch.

October 21 sets the next test

The upcoming report follows UniCredit's second-quarter and first-half figures. The bank reported EUR 6.7 billion in revenue for the second quarter, up 13 percent year over year, while net profit reached EUR 3.1 billion, up 22 percent, in the results presentation dated July 23, 2026, published by UniCredit.

That performance gives the October report a clear benchmark. Analysts cited by finanzen.ch estimate quarterly EPS of EUR 1.90, compared with EUR 1.71 in the year-earlier quarter, and revenue of EUR 6.49 billion, compared with EUR 6.17 billion previously.

Russia restructuring advances

A separate corporate development concerns UniCredit's Russian operations. RTE reported on October 6, 2026, that Vladimir Putin approved the reorganization of the Russian subsidiary and the subsequent sale of the newly created unit.

UniCredit said the planned transaction would retain the payments business while transferring the remaining operations to a private investor in the United Arab Emirates. The bank has indicated a first-half 2027 completion window, subject to binding agreements and regulatory approvals, according to RTE.

Consensus target sits above EUR 94

The analyst picture remains higher than the current quotation. A consensus of 18 analysts cited on October 5, 2026, assigns an Outperform rating and an average target of EUR 94.70, with a EUR 78.00 low and EUR 113.00 high; at EUR 77.35, the average target is 22.4 percent above the price, according to Economia Italia.

Stock trades below yearly high

UniCredit's EUR 77.35 price is 10.5 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 86.42 and above the EUR 57.36 low. Market capitalization stood at EUR 116.3 billion on October 7, 2026, while volume was 1,835,315 shares, keeping the October 21 report as the next concrete test of the growth narrative.
