UniCredit projects its net profit to go beyond €9.3 billion for the full financial year of 2025. They are already looking ahead to increase their growth – to a million more beyond that!
In its most recent quarterly results, UniCredit boasted net revenues of about €6 billion, a 2.8% rise. The bank’s revenues from fees jumped by 8.2% to €2.3 billion, mainly thanks to robust expansion of investment and financing fee income. In contrast, net interest income shrank 4.8% q-o-q to €3.5 billion.
In fact, UniCredit just recorded its strongest-ever quarterly results! That’s an achievement signifying the bank’s 17th straight quarter of profitable growth. These findings have delighted analysts on Wall Street, suggesting a strong path ahead for the fledgling bank.
Andrea Orcel, Chief Executive Officer of UniCredit, on commenting the results said,
“UniCredit posted an outstanding set of first quarter results, beating across all KPIs and widening our positive gap vs. peers. We delivered the best quarterly results in UniCredit’s history and the 17th quarter of consecutive profitable growth.”
With the acquisition of Aion Bank and Vodeno, UniCredit has concluded its strategic move. Individually, both companies do some really exciting things with their digital financial services. This expansion is in step with UniCredit’s priorities to enhance product offerings and operating efficiencies throughout Europe.
For UniCredit, the future is bright according to leadership when it comes to their performance. The bank expects net revenues to be over €23 billion for the full year. Its leadership is continuing to pursue new opportunities to fit within the bank’s growth strategy. We know that they are equally committed to making sure their opportunities are advantageous to all the stakeholders.
