    See our latest analysis for Commerzbank.

    The recent Q1 results and raised 2025 CET1 target have come alongside a 1-year total shareholder return of 29.2% and a very large 5-year total shareholder return. The 90-day share price return of 5.55% suggests momentum is still building from a €37.45 base.

    Commerzbank now pairs double digit RoTE and record quarterly earnings with a share price that has already delivered a very strong multi year return. The key issue for you is whether the stock still offers value at €37.45.

    Most Popular Narrative: 4.9% Undervalued

    The most followed narrative sees Commerzbank’s fair value at €39.40, slightly above the last close at €37.45. This puts the current takeover noise and recent Q1 strength into a longer term earnings and margin story.

    Ongoing restructuring, cost discipline, and digital transformation, including further branch reductions and automation, remain on track to improve the cost/income ratio towards the 50% target by 2028, driving structurally improved net margins and profitability.

    Read the complete narrative.

    Curious what sits behind that fair value gap. The narrative leans heavily on compound revenue growth, widening profit margins and a lower future earnings multiple than today. The mix of those inputs is what really matters.

    Result: Fair Value of €39.40 (UNDERVALUED)

    Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

    However, you still need to weigh risks to the Commerzbank story, especially potential digital disruption from fintechs and higher regulatory or compliance costs that could pressure margins.

    Another View On Commerzbank’s Valuation

    While the narrative fair value suggests Commerzbank is modestly undervalued, the current P/E of 16.9x tells a different story. It sits well above the European Banks industry at 12x, the peer average at 9.2x, and even the bank’s own 13.1x fair ratio. That pricing gap points to less margin for error if growth or profitability fall short. How comfortable are you paying a premium for this bank at this stage?
