The biggest profit since 2007 is a welcome milestone for the bank after a rocky decade.<\/p>\n
Deutsche Bank posted its largest annual profit since 2007 after a stronger-than-expected fourth quarter, a day after police searched the bank in an alleged money-laundering probe.<\/p>\n
Germany\u2019s largest lender recorded net profit attributable to shareholders of 6.12 billion euros for 2025, helped by strength at its global investment bank.<\/p>\n
That is above 2.7 billion euros a year earlier and slightly ahead of analyst expectations of nearly six billion euros.<\/p>\n
The biggest profit since 2007 \u2013 and the sixth consecutive year in the black \u2013 is a welcome milestone for the bank after a rocky decade that saw big losses and fears among regulators that the bank was teetering.<\/p>\n
The 2025 financial year also closes out a three-year financial plan in which Deutsche Bank pledged and met a key profit target \u2013 so-called return on tangible equity \u2013 of more than 10 per cent.<\/p>\n
The bank is now working towards a new 2028 target of 13 per cent that analysts currently think it may miss.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis gives us the strongest possible foundation for the next phase of our strategy,\u201d said Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing.<\/p>\n
For the final quarter of the year, net profit was 1.3 billion euros, up from 106 million euros a year earlier. It topped analyst expectations for a profit of around 1.12 billion euros.<\/p>\n
The bank also said it had authorised one billion euros in buybacks. For 2026, the bank expects revenues to grow to around 33 billion euros, up from 32.1 billion euros.<\/p>\n
Deutsche\u2019s investment bank, which operates from Sydney to New York, remained the biggest revenue generator in the quarter, with 5 per cent increase in revenue, roughly in line with expectations.<\/p>\n
Within the investment bank, revenue for fixed-income and currency trading business, one of the bank\u2019s largest, rose 7 per cent and beat expectations for a 4 per cent gain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The biggest profit since 2007 is a welcome milestone for the bank after a rocky decade.
