European banks trade at 32% discount to Stoxx 600, Tikehau Capital says
  • Tikehau Capital’s October 2026 analysis highlighted European banks’ post-2008 peak profitability, supported by strong capital buffers and low non-performing loan ratios.
  • European banks traded at 11.5 times earnings versus 16.8 times for the Stoxx 600, leaving a 32% valuation discount.
  • The European banking index rose 16.64% year-to-date, compared with 0.81% for its US counterpart.
  • Subordinated financial debt issuance reached €81.9 billion through September, exceeding the five-year average of €74.4 billion.
  • Tighter spreads prompted greater credit selectivity, favoring existing euro-denominated Additional Tier 1 bonds with high coupons and defensive Tier 2 opportunities.
