If we exclude the volatile Other income category, ING Groep relies on net interest income for 79% of its revenues - a key concern during ECB monetary policy normalization. Lower NII and a normalizing cost of risk resulted in ING reporting a return on equity of 13% in 2024, below the exceptional 14.8% result in 2023. The bank's ROE is forecast at above 12% in 2025, impacted by higher costs and the ongoing effects of ECB rate cuts on NII.

ING's Q3 2024 performance showed strong ROE, CET1 ratio, and a 17% shareholder return, with a forward dividend yield of 7.8%. The bank's revenue and EPS growth are forecasted to be modest, justifying a low P/E multiple, but shares trade below book value.
ING (ING) has become technically an oversold stock now, which implies exhaustion of the heavy selling pressure on it. This, combined with strong agreement among Wall Street analysts in revising earnings estimates higher, indicates a potential trend reversal for the stock in the near term.
