ING Groep (ISIN NL0011794037) closed at EUR 32.07 on Euronext Amsterdam on September 22, 2026, after trading between EUR 32.01 and EUR 32.30 with volume of 112,935 shares. The bank's latest strategic update raised its 2027 return on equity target above 16 percent, compared with 14 percent in its 2024 guidance.

2027 targets move higher

According to Investing.com on September 23, 2026, ING lifted its 2027 return on equity target to above 16 percent from 14 percent in its 2024 guidance. The same update put 2027 revenue guidance above EUR 26 billion, EUR 1 billion higher than the previous capital-markets-day plan, while the cost target was reduced to about EUR 13 billion from EUR 13.3 billion.

The quantified change matters because it combines a higher profitability target with lower planned costs. ING also said fee income had already reached EUR 5 billion, the level previously targeted for 2027, giving the revised plan a concrete operating reference.

Buyback reaches 77.9 percent

As The Globe and Mail reported on September 23, 2026, ING repurchased 1,350,000 shares between September 14 and September 18 at an average price of EUR 31.92. The bank had bought back 27,660,805 shares at an average price of EUR 28.16, using about EUR 779 million of the authorised EUR 1 billion programme, or 77.9 percent.

That buyback figure places the capital-return programme close to completion while the latest target revision points to a higher medium-term profitability ambition. The stock's September 22 close remained EUR 5.45 below the reported 52-week high of EUR 37.52 and EUR 8.43 above the 52-week low of EUR 23.64.

Stock stays below yearly high

MarketBeat data showed ING Group at USD 36.42 on September 23, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 23.64 to USD 37.52, volume of 1.71 million shares and market capitalization of USD 104.18 billion. Those figures refer to the US listing and are separate from the Euronext Amsterdam reference price used above.

ING Groep closed at EUR 32.07 on Euronext Amsterdam on September 22, 2026. The next valuation question is whether the higher 2027 targets and remaining buyback capacity can narrow the gap to the 52-week high without weakening capital discipline.
