Raiffeisen Bank International stock traded at EUR 57.05 at Lang & Schwarz on October 22, 2026, at 9:49 a.m. CEST. The latest company-specific catalyst is a Russian court penalty of EUR 342 million linked to the bank's dispute with Rasperia, reported on October 20, 2026 by Reuters. The ruling adds legal pressure to a case that also includes a Vienna award of EUR 3.15 billion.

Legal costs meet a major claim

Reuters said the EUR 342 million penalty consists of a EUR 300 million main claim and EUR 42 million in court fees. The bank described the Russian decision as an expected consequence of its Austrian damages action. The dispute concerns frozen assets and 28.5 million Strabag shares that RBI wants to use to enforce its Austrian claim.

What does the growth plan add?

RBI is also building a digital-assets distribution channel. In a release dated September 23, 2026, Raiffeisen Bank International said its partnership with Bitpanda would create a group-wide framework serving around 18 million customers across Central and Eastern Europe. The rollout is planned progressively, with local banks adapting the service to their markets.

Three dated developments

On September 22, 2026, Reuters reported the Vienna court award of EUR 3.15 billion to RBI and its Russian subsidiary. On September 23, 2026, RBI announced the 18 million-customer Bitpanda framework. On October 20, 2026, the Russian court imposed the EUR 342 million penalty.

Key dates for investors

A next-results date of November 3, 2026 is listed by Simply Wall St. RBI's second-quarter earnings call also pointed to a Capital Markets Day in February 2027 and reported year-to-date profit of EUR 708 million for the first half of 2026, alongside a CET1 ratio of 15.5 percent excluding Russia.

Stock price and legal exposure

The legal dispute remains the immediate risk factor, while the Bitpanda rollout offers a measurable expansion route outside the core banking business. At 9:49 a.m. CEST, the stock was trading at EUR 57.05 at Lang & Schwarz on October 22, 2026.
