Commerzbank Raises Interest Income Guidance Again

Commerzbank CBK -0.06%decrease; red down pointing triangle nudged up its guidance for the year as it expects its top line to continue to be supported by higher income from the interest it makes on loans.

The German lender, which focuses on small and medium-size companies, on Thursday said it now pencils in net interest income–the difference between interest received on loans and that paid out on customer deposits, which makes up the bulk of its revenue–of around 8.2 billion euros ($9.42 billion) for 2025, up from its recently-upgraded view of around 8.0 billion euros.
