UniCredit: Net profit reaches €9.4 billion in nine months and interim dividend of €3.0034 per share
On November 9, 2026, UniCredit published its financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year. Net profit stood at €9.4 billion, a figure representing the highest level ever recorded by the institution for this specific period. Compared to the same period in the previous year, net profit growth was +7.3%. The bank also defined the third quarter as the best in its corporate history in terms of operating performance.
Why it matters
The company has updated its long-term financial ambitions. The minimum threshold for 2026 net profit, calculated before extraordinary items, was revised upward and set at a value well above €11.5 billion. Projections extend to subsequent years: the minimum threshold for 2028 is indicated as well above €13 billion, while for 2030 a minimum threshold of well above €15 billion is established. The Return on Tangible Equity (RoTE) recorded in the first nine months reached 24.3%, a figure that exceeds the initial ambition set at 20%. Andrea Orcel, the bank’s chief executive officer, commented on the results, highlighting how the corporate strategy is producing regular and quantifiable outcomes.
The numbers
Alongside profitability data, UniCredit announced changes to the dividend agreement. The declared interim payment is €3.0034 per share. The total value of the operation amounts to nearly €4.5 billion. This overall amount has more than doubled compared to the previous period. The data confirm that net profit for the first nine months exceeded the initial profitability target set by the strategic plan.
