Deutsche Bank AG (DBK) traded at €40.52 as of 1:43pm UTC on 10 September 2026, near the lower end of the session's €40.49–€40.75 range. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Recent attention has centred on Deutsche Bank's €500m share buyback, which began on 25 August and is due to run no later than 11 December 2026 (Reuters, 24 August 2026). Subsidiary DWS Group also plans to adopt Deutsche Asset Management as its global brand from November, a move Bloomberg linked to increased value attached to the Deutsche Bank brand following its recent turnaround (Bloomberg, 8 September 2026). In the wider backdrop, Deutsche Bank Research expects the European Central Bank to continue raising rates into December as energy-driven inflation persists (Reuters, 7 September 2026).

Third-party Deutsche Bank outlook: buyback and DWS rebrand

As of 10 September 2026, third-party Deutsche Bank stock predictions range from MarketScreener's €34.03 consensus average to €43.75 at the upper end of the individual targets cited here. The spread reflects different assumptions around interest rates, profitability and efficiency.

MarketScreener

MarketScreener's consensus, covering 18 analysts as of 9 September 2026, gives Deutsche Bank an average 12-month target of €34.03, with a high estimate of €43.75. The consensus rating is described as outperform, while the range reflects differing expectations for future profitability (MarketScreener, 9 September 2026).

JPMorgan

JPMorgan sets a €41 target and maintains an overweight rating. Analyst Kian Abouhossein's view assumes euro-area interest rates remain higher for longer, which could support net interest income (Investing.com, 8 September 2026).

Warburg Research

Warburg Research raises its target to €41.50 from €39 and maintains a positive view on the shares. Analyst Andreas Pläsier cites potential benefits from Germany's fiscal investment package, AI-related efficiency gains and higher asset volumes over the following two years (The Globe and Mail, 9 September 2026).

Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs raises its target to €43.75 from €37 and upgrades Deutsche Bank to buy. Analyst Chris Hallam expects around a 300-basis-point improvement in return on tangible equity, supported by revenue growth and operating leverage (MarketScreener, 2 September 2026).

Takeaway: Individual euro-denominated broker targets cited here range from €41–€43.75, compared with MarketScreener's €34.03 consensus average. Higher rates, stronger profitability or efficiency gains could support valuations, while weaker earnings, falling rates or rising costs could weigh on them.

Predictions and third-party forecasts are inherently uncertain, as they cannot fully account for unexpected market developments. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Deutsche Bank earnings: latest results and next report

Deutsche Bank reported its second-quarter 2026 results on 29 July. Post-tax profit rose 10% year on year to €1.9bn, its highest second-quarter figure, while profit before tax increased 11% to €2.7bn. Diluted earnings per share rose 19% to €0.57 (Deutsche Bank, 29 July 2026).

For the first half, after-tax profit increased 9% to €4.1bn, while profit before tax rose by the same rate to €5.7bn. The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio, which measures a bank's core capital relative to risk-weighted assets, stood at 13.9% at quarter-end. Chief Financial Officer Raja Akram attributed the performance to growth across the Corporate Bank, Private Bank and Asset Management divisions, alongside the Investment Bank.

Deutsche Bank's financial calendar lists its third-quarter 2026 results for 28 October, followed by a fixed-income investor conference call on 29 October (Deutsche Bank IR, 10 September 2026).

Stronger revenue, profitability or capital generation could support sentiment around the shares, while weaker income, higher costs or deteriorating credit conditions could put pressure on the outlook.

DBK stock price: technical overview

As of 1:43pm UTC on 10 September 2026, the DBK stock price trades at €40.52, above its 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day simple moving averages at around €34, €33, €30 and €30 respectively, according to TradingView. The 100-day exponential moving average near €31.50 also sits below the current price.

The 14-day relative strength index (RSI) is near 60.6, within neutral territory but towards its upper end. The average directional index (ADX) stands around 28.6, indicating some trend strength without showing its direction.

The share price also sits above the classic R3 pivot near €40.17. Other listed references, including Fibonacci R1 at €34.95 and R2 at €35.81, are already below the current market.

On a move lower, €40.17 provides the nearest listed pivot reference. Further down, the classic pivot sits around €33.85, while the 100- and 200-day SMAs are near €30.49 and €30.30. Further gains would take the shares beyond the supplied classic pivot range, while a pullback could bring these lower levels into focus (TradingView, 10 September 2026).

Deutsche Bank (DBK): Capital.com analyst view

Deutsche Bank shares have traded at elevated levels in 2026 as earnings improved and the bank returned capital through its €500m buyback programme. Second-quarter post-tax profit reached €1.9bn, while recent broker updates have focused on improving return on tangible equity and the possibility that euro-area interest rates remain higher for longer.

The planned DWS rebrand to Deutsche Asset Management adds another company-specific development, although its direct effect on Deutsche Bank's valuation remains uncertain. Interest rates may have a more immediate influence: higher rates can support parts of banking income, but weaker loan demand, higher funding costs or deteriorating credit conditions could offset that benefit.

Further earnings growth, efficiency gains or capital returns could support the shares. Lower-than-expected profits, changing rate expectations, weaker credit quality or regulatory developments could instead weigh on them.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

FAQ

Who owns the most Deutsche Bank stock?

This article does not identify Deutsche Bank's largest shareholder or provide a detailed ownership breakdown. It focuses instead on the bank's earnings, €500m share buyback, DWS rebrand, interest-rate backdrop, technical levels and third-party analyst forecasts. Shareholdings can change as institutional and other investors adjust their positions, so current company filings or shareholder disclosures would need to be checked separately to determine which investor currently holds the largest stake.

What is the five-year Deutsche Bank share price forecast?

The article does not provide a five-year DBK stock forecast. The third-party estimates cited here focus on 12-month targets, with individual euro-denominated broker targets ranging from €41–€43.75 and MarketScreener reporting a €34.03 consensus average. Longer-term forecasts carry greater uncertainty because interest rates, profitability, credit conditions, regulation and capital returns can change materially over several years. These targets are estimates rather than reliable long-term predictions.

Is Deutsche Bank a good stock to buy?

This article does not classify Deutsche Bank as a good or bad stock to buy. Further earnings growth, efficiency gains, higher-for-longer interest rates or continued capital returns could support the shares. By contrast, weaker profitability, lower rates, deteriorating credit quality, higher funding costs or regulatory developments could weigh on them. Analyst targets also vary, reflecting different assumptions about the bank's outlook. These factors provide context but do not amount to an investment recommendation.

Could Deutsche Bank stock go up or down?

Yes. Deutsche Bank shares could move in either direction as earnings, interest rates and credit conditions develop. Stronger profits, efficiency gains or further capital returns could support sentiment and valuation, while weaker earnings, falling rates, higher funding costs or worsening credit quality could weigh on the price. The bank's €500m buyback may also support demand for the shares, but no single factor can reliably determine future price direction.

Should I invest in Deutsche Bank stock?

Whether Deutsche Bank shares are suitable for you depends on your objectives, circumstances and tolerance for risk, and this article does not provide investment advice. Relevant factors include profitability, interest-rate expectations, credit quality, capital strength, regulatory developments and shareholder returns such as the current buyback. Each could influence the share price positively or negatively, while unexpected economic or company-specific developments may also change the outlook. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Can I trade Deutsche Bank CFDs on Capital.com?

Yes, you can trade Deutsche Bank CFDs on Capital.com. Trading share CFDs lets you speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset and to take long or short positions. However, contracts for difference (CFDs) are traded on margin, and leverage amplifies both profits and losses. You should ensure you understand how CFD trading works, assess your risk tolerance, and recognise that losses can occur quickly.
