RBC Capital Markets cut its Commerzbank price target from EUR 43.00 to EUR 40.00 on October 2, 2026, and downgraded the stock from Outperform to Sector Perform, Yahoo Finance reported.

RBC's base case assumes Commerzbank remains standalone during an initial phase. The brokerage estimated EUR 2.20 billion of restructuring costs, EUR 1.40 billion of cost savings and EUR 650.00 million of lost revenue, while estimating that the measures could lift its 2030 earnings-per-share forecast by 7 percent.
