BNP Paribas (ISIN FR0000131104) was trading at EUR 98.52 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026, at 1:44 p.m. CEST. The bank's latest strategy update targets double digit earnings per share growth from 2025 to 2028, giving the stock a concrete earnings framework beyond the second quarter rebound.

2028 growth target takes shape

According to BNP Paribas on September 22, 2026, the group is on track for double digit EPS growth between 2025 and 2028. The same release says BNP Paribas reached its 13.00 percent CET1 target 18 months ahead of schedule and plans to present its 2030 strategy on February 2, 2027.

The strategic message builds on operating momentum already visible in 2Q26. The bank's three core divisions give the plan breadth: Corporate and Institutional Banking, Commercial and Personal Banking Services, and Investment and Protection Services.

Revenue rises 12.00 percent

In its September 23, 2026 presentation, BNP Paribas reported 2Q26 revenue of EUR 14.091 billion, up 12.00 percent from EUR 12.581 billion in 2Q25. Net income reached EUR 4.345 billion, a 33.40 percent increase from EUR 3.258 billion a year earlier.

The quality of that growth matters for investors. Corporate and Institutional Banking revenue rose 12.70 percent, Commercial and Personal Banking Services revenue increased 4.80 percent, and Investment and Protection Services revenue climbed 27.30 percent in the quarter. The presentation also showed a 56.70 percent cost-to-income ratio and a 39 basis point cost of risk.

Capital distribution adds another measurable support. BNP Paribas paid a 2026 interim dividend of EUR 3.23 on September 28, 2026, while its presentation states that the payout policy will be reviewed with the 4Q26 results.

Next earnings date is October 28

The next scheduled checkpoint is 3Q26 earnings on October 28, 2026, followed by a BNL bc business deep dive on November 18, 2026. The 2030 strategy presentation is scheduled for February 2, 2027, creating three dated events for investors tracking execution against the new growth path.

At Lang & Schwarz, BNP Paribas was trading at EUR 98.52 on September 29, 2026, at 1:44 p.m. CEST. Versus the Euronext Paris close of EUR 99.30 on September 28, 2026, that is minus 0.79 percent; the euro quote therefore sits below the prior session's Paris close while the medium-term strategy remains centered on double digit EPS growth.
