The financial services group said it was in discussions to sell its 67% stake in BMCI to Holmarcom, which already is a shareholder in the Moroccan bank.
BNP Paribas faces headwinds from Sudan litigation and French politics, weighing on near-term sentiment. The Group Q3 results were strong, with accelerating sales and AXA IMI acquisition progressing well. The company announced new targets: 13% CET1 by 2027, cost-income ratio improvements, asset disposals, and a €1.15 billion share buyback, signaling confidence in fundamentals.
BNP Paribas reported solid Q3 2025 results, benefiting from a mix of organic and inorganic growth following the acquisition of AXA's asset management business. This puts the bank on track to reach its 11.5% profitability target in 2025, with an incremental improvement to 13% envisioned over the medium term. Against this backdrop, the shares trade at a significant discount to European banking peers, providing investors with a sizable margin of safety.
