With today’s closing value of EUR 3.8630bn, Intesa Sanpaolo ranks first among Eurozone banks in stock market value at EUR 69bn, surpassing Santander (EUR 67bn) and BNP Paribas (EUR 66bn). Furthermore, Intesa Sanpaolo shows a higher ‘stock market value/asset value’ parameter than European banking giants such as HSBC and UBS.

The strategy of the banking group led by Carlo Messina – based on a consolidated capacity for internal growth, with a business model characterised by a significant revenue component generated by wealth management, high and sustainable profitability over time, solid capitalisation and significant investments in technological innovation and the growth of the Group’s people – is strongly appreciated by investors.

Thanks to its solid results, Intesa Sanpaolo has been able to give life to one of the most important programmes in the international arena in favour of people in difficult situations, intervening to combat food poverty and promoting health and shelter. Intesa Sanpaolo’s commitment amounts to 1.5 billion by 2027.

With these results, Intesa Sanpaolo faces 2025, a year of particular importance that represents for the Bank the conclusion of the business plan launched in February 2022 with a net profit forecast of over EUR 6.5 billion and revised upwards most recently in October, when the third quarter 2024 results were presented, with a 2025 net profit forecast of EUR 9 billion.

These are the results with which the bank chaired by Gian Maria Gros-Pietro and led by Carlo Messina will head towards next spring, when shareholders will have to elect a new board of directors. Starting with the Foundations, which – thanks to the dividends received by the Bank – can promote, in their respective territories, projects aimed at social, research and culture.

Today’s closing value confirms Intesa Sanpaolo as the leading bank in the Eurozone in terms of total shareholder return (growth in share value added to dividend distribution) over the last 10 years with + 213% and a stock market growth of 115% with an increase in capitalisation of EUR 40 billion since January 2014.

Intesa Sanpaolo’s dividends paid out over 10 years amounted to EUR 31 billion with a cumulative Cash Dividend Yield of 98%.
