Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A. (BMPS) is trading around €8.84 in early European trading on 16 January 2026, positioned near the lower end of Capital.com’s stated intraday range between €8.84 and €9.31 as of 3:45pm UTC. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

The move comes amid elevated news flow around the bank, including the completion of a €750 million covered bond placement targeted at institutional investors, with reported demand above €2.4 billion (MarketScreener, 15 January 2026). There’s also ongoing market attention on its strategic direction following the Mediobanca transaction (Reuters, 16 January 2026). Sector sentiment toward Italian banks remains influenced by broader macro and regulatory developments, including Italy’s 2026 budget tax measures affecting banks (EY, 22 October 2025) and updated economic data released in January 2026 (Banca d'Italia, 13 January 2026).

BCA MPS stock forecast 2026–2030: Third-party price targets

As of 16 January 2026, third-party Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena stock predictions cluster in a relatively narrow band around the current market level. Recent surveys and data-provider summaries focus on 12-month horizons, reflecting varying views on earnings durability, capital deployment, and the broader Italian banking landscape. These forecasts are indicative, not guarantees, and include estimates from both buy-side and independent sources.

Simply Wall St (consensus snapshot)

Simply Wall St reports a consensus 12-month target around €8.59, with individual estimates ranging from approximately €6.35 to €10.50. These projections are shaped by expectations around earnings growth, margins and risk factors, alongside contrasting assessments of the bank’s valuation versus its modelled fair value (Yahoo Finance, 14 January 2026).

Investing.com (data-vendor consensus)

Investing.com’s BMPS overview cites an average 12-month target around €10.15. This reflects differing assumptions around profitability trends, balance sheet quality and Italy’s rate and regulatory backdrop (Investing.com, 16 January 2026).

Fintel (target range compilation)

Fintel’s summary shows an average 12-month target of €9.98, with a range from €8.08 to €12.08. The dispersion is attributed to diverging house views on revenue, cost profiles and potential strategic developments (Fintel, 16 January 2026).

StocksGuide (multi-analyst screen)

StocksGuide’s forecast page references a multi-analyst 2025–2026 framework with an average target of €10.25 across 12 estimates. Targets span from €8.08 to €11.55. The report highlights how valuation scenarios depend on revenue, margin and capital developments versus consensus (StocksGuide, 16 January 2026).

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.

The BMPS stock price was trading near €8.84 as of 3:45pm UTC on 16 January 2026, sitting just under the classic pivot at €8.60 and below the nearby Classic R1 at €9.70. The intraday range spans €8.84 to €9.31. On the daily chart, the 20/50/100/200-day simple moving averages (SMAs) cluster around €8.96, €8.47, €8.04 and €7.66 respectively. The 10-day SMAs and EMAs near €9.11–€9.08, and the 30-day markers around €8.60–€8.76, reflect price oscillating near a rising medium-term base.

The 14-day RSI, at 51.7, sits in neutral territory, while the ADX near 28.3 suggests a more established trend backdrop. Shorter-term indicators, including Momentum and MACD, currently show a mildly corrective tilt.

On the topside, the nearest classic resistance is €9.70, with the €10.28 R2 level offering the next reference if that’s cleared. On pullbacks, the classic pivot at €8.60 marks initial support, followed by the 100-day SMA around €8.04. A break below that would place the classic S1 region near €8.03 into focus (TradingView, 16 January 2026).

BCA MPS (BMPS): Capital.com analyst view

The BMPS stock price has staged a notable recovery over the past two years, moving from around €3–€4 in early 2024 to between €8–€9 by mid-January 2026. This trend has coincided with periods of improved profitability, balance sheet repair and renewed investor interest in Italian banks. However, the path has also included bouts of volatility tied to macroeconomic developments and company-specific updates.

Several factors could continue to influence BMPS price action in both directions. These include euro area rate expectations, broader sentiment toward European financials, and any updates on the bank’s capital, asset quality or strategy. Supportive developments may underpin the shares, while weaker results, regulatory changes or a shift in market risk appetite could trigger renewed pressure on valuations.

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.

While this movement reflects periods of improved performance and sentiment, the stock has also shown volatility, driven by broader economic factors and company-specific updates.

The BMPS share price could move in either direction depending on several factors, including interest-rate expectations in the euro area, investor sentiment towards financials, and updates on the bank’s capital position or earnings. Technical indicators suggest a developing trend, but short-term signals point to a possible correction. As with all equities, prices are shaped by sentiment, macroeconomic conditions and company performance. Forecasts remain uncertain, and past price trends are not reliable indicators of future performance.

Can I trade Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena CFDs on Capital.com?
