Deutsche Bank reported October 28 that third-quarter profit after tax reached €1.9 billion and pretax profit increased 8% from a year earlier to €2.6 billion.
The German lender said net revenue rose 4% to €8.3 billion. Diluted earnings per share were 94 euro cents, up 6% from the third quarter of 2025, according to its results release.
The bank reported record revenue in its Corporate Bank and double-digit revenue growth in Wealth Management. Across Private Bank and Asset Management, assets under management increased by €50 billion during the quarter to €2 trillion, supported by €47 billion in net inflows.
Noninterest expenses were unchanged from a year earlier at €5.2 billion. The cost-to-income ratio declined to 62.4% from 64.4%.
For the first nine months, after-tax profit was €5.9 billion, up 7%, while pretax profit rose 8% to €8.4 billion.
Management now puts its full-year revenue ambition above €33 billion. That outlook describes an expectation for the full year, rather than revenue already earned.
