BPER Banca S.p.A. (BPE) is trading around €12.13 in early European dealings on 16 January 2026 as of 11:42am UTC, within an intraday range of approximately €12.07–€12.18. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Price action comes amid a modestly positive backdrop for Italian equities, with the FTSE MIB up about 0.4–0.5% around 45,850 points in recent sessions (Trading Economics, 16 January 2026). Against this background, investors continue to monitor the ongoing integration of Banca Popolare di Sondrio following the boards’ approval of a full merger plan expected to complete by April 2026 (Reuters, 6 November 2025). Recent corporate updates have centred on organisational and reputational developments, including BPER’s confirmation as a 'Top Employer Italy' for the seventh consecutive year, keeping market focus on the group’s longer-term positioning rather than short-term trading dynamics (BPER Banca, 15 January 2026).

BPE stock price: Technical overview

The BPE stock price is trading around €12.13 as of 11:42am UTC on 16 January 2026, holding above a rising cluster of daily moving averages, with the 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day SMAs located near €11.73, €10.96, €10.19 and €8.93 respectively. The 20-over-50 alignment remains intact, while the 14-day RSI near 71 suggests extended momentum. An ADX reading above 40 points indicates a well-established trend environment rather than a range-bound phase.

On the topside, the nearest classic pivot above the market lies at €12.10 (R1), with €12.60 (R2) coming into focus on any sustained daily close above this initial resistance zone. On pullbacks, initial support appears near the €11.15 classic pivot, followed by the 100-day SMA area around €10.19 as the next notable level. A decisive break below this zone could expose the €10.65 S1 region (TradingView, 16 January 2026).

BPER Banca (BPE): Capital.com analyst view

The BPE stock price has recorded a pronounced move over the last two years, rising from levels near €3.30 in early 2024 to trade around €12.13 as of 16 January 2026 on Capital.com’s platform. The advance through 2025 was relatively measured rather than abrupt, with the stock progressing from around €6.00 in January to above €10.00 by late November before moving into the low-€12 area at the start of 2026. While this trajectory may point to sustained market interest, it also implies greater sensitivity to shifts in sentiment or earnings expectations.

Several factors could influence BPER Banca’s price from here, including broader movements across Italian and European bank shares, changes in interest-rate expectations and credit conditions, and investor responses to the group’s strategic and integration milestones. Supportive sector or macro developments can underpin bank valuations, while weaker economic data, regulatory adjustments or adverse asset-quality developments could weigh on the share price. As a result, traders often consider both company-specific updates and wider risk sentiment when assessing near-term fluctuations alongside longer-term trends.

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 most of BPER Banca’s stock?

BPER Banca has a diversified shareholder base, with ownership spread across institutional investors, banking foundations and retail shareholders. Large Italian banking foundations and domestic institutional investors are among the more significant holders, reflecting the bank’s historical ties to the regional banking system. As with many listed banks, shareholdings can change over time due to portfolio rebalancing, corporate actions or market conditions, meaning reported ownership levels represent a snapshot rather than a fixed structure.

What is the five-year BPER Banca share price forecast?

There is no widely agreed or reliable five-year BPE stock forecast. Most publicly available analyst estimates focus on 12-month horizons, reflecting the greater uncertainty associated with longer-term projections. Over multi-year periods, BPER Banca’s share price may be influenced by factors such as economic growth, interest-rate trends, regulatory developments and the execution of strategic plans. As a result, longer-term outcomes can differ materially from shorter-term expectations or historical performance.

Is BPER Banca a good stock to buy?

Whether BPER Banca is a 'good' stock depends on an individual’s objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance. Analysts currently publish a range of views expressed through price targets and recommendations, rather than definitive conclusions. While some investors focus on earnings trends and balance-sheet metrics, others place greater emphasis on broader sector or macroeconomic risks. Importantly, this article does not provide investment advice, and assessing suitability requires individual research and, where appropriate, independent financial guidance.

Could BPER Banca’s share price go up or down?

Yes, BPER Banca’s share price can move in either direction. Like other bank stocks, it is sensitive to changes in interest-rate expectations, economic conditions, regulatory decisions and investor sentiment towards the financial sector. Company-specific developments, such as integration progress or earnings updates, can also influence price movements. Both upward and downward scenarios are therefore possible, particularly over shorter time frames where market volatility may be more pronounced.

Should I invest in BPER Banca stock?

This article does not suggest whether you should invest in BPER Banca stock. Investment decisions depend on personal financial circumstances, objectives and tolerance for risk. Share prices can fluctuate, and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Before making any investment decision, individuals typically consider multiple sources of information and may seek independent professional advice to better understand the potential risks, costs and outcomes associated with a specific security.

Can I trade BPER Banca CFDs on Capital.com?

Yes, you can trade BPER Banca 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.
