Results of ING’s Extraordinary General Meeting

ING Groep N.V. held an Extraordinary General Meeting approving Andrea Cesaroni's appointment as Chief Risk Officer, effective July 31, 2026. The bank reported a 2Q2026 net result of €1,947 million with profit before tax up 23% year-on-year and 29% sequentially, driven by accelerated growth in customer base and balances. ING also progressed its €1.0 billion share buyback programme, repurchasing 865,193 shares during the week.

ING Group shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q2 financial results.

Shares of several banks are trading lower as surging oil prices and Treasury yields weigh on sentiment, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield climbing to its highest level since January 2025. Rising yields and energy prices have fueled inflation concerns, reinforcing expectations that interest rates will remain elevated and raising concerns about slower loan demand and economic growth.
