Best bank 2025: Commerzbank
UniCredit’s acquisition of a large minority stake in Commerzbank has been a momentous event for Germany’s best bank and the wider financial sector.
The future of the investment is unclear, but so far it has given the Milan-based group a healthy return on paper. Indeed, Commerzbank’s share price more than doubled between September 2024, when UniCredit bought an initial 21% position partly via derivatives, and mid-2025.
The potential for transformational M&A has helped the stock, alongside macro tailwinds, but the positive trend is also largely due to a strategy that is showing results.
