Key updates communicated during Q3 2026
Provision for credit losses (CLPs):
-As stated by Raja Akram at the Bank of America Financials Conference, the underlying
quality of the loan book remains sound, with Deutsche Bank not seeing any elevated
stress despite the economic environment; Q3 2026 CLPs are expected to be between
Q1 2026 and Q2 2026 levels, given the continued CRE portfolio de-risking and an
idiosyncratic charge related to a single-name exposure in the Corporate Bank in Asia
-As indicated at the Q2 2026 results, the bank will continue to evaluate limited and
targeted portfolio actions where these are capital-accretive and support further de-
risking of the portfolio
Revenues:
-At the Bank of America Financials Conference, Raja Akram provided insights into
revenue dynamics across the Group, including a statement on Q3 2026 revenue
performance in the Investment Bank:
-Private Bank revenues are expected to show continued momentum, supported by
strong deposit inflows, ongoing asset gathering, and continued uptake of
investment products
-Asset Management revenues are expected to benefit from continued strong
inflows, with management expressing confidence in the business segment’s Q3
2026 performance
-Corporate Bank revenues are expected to continue their positive trajectory in H2
2026, with the business segment expected to exit the year with a mid- to high-
single-digit revenue growth rate
-In the Investment Bank, Investment Banking & Capital Markets (IBCM) revenues
are expected to be broadly flat YoY, with strong activity in M&A, ECM, and DCM
offset by LDCM timing effects; Fixed Income & Currencies (FIC) revenues are
expected to be flat or slightly down versus the record Q3 2025, with most
products expected to be up excluding the Credit Trading business given its strong
performance in Q3 2025; overall, Investment Bank revenues are expected to be
flat to slightly down YoY in Q3 2026
-At the Q2 2026 results, management reiterated confidence in FY 2026 Group
revenues reaching around € 33bn; Corporate Bank revenues are expected to
increase sequentially in Q3 and Q4 2026, while IBCM revenues are expected to be
stronger in H2 than in H1 2026; for NII across the key banking book segments and
other funding, the bank expects NII to slightly exceed the previously indicated
level of around € 14bn, with the benefits from recent rate decisions expected to
become more pronounced starting in FY 2027 and increase further in FY 2028 and
beyond, reflecting the benefits from the structural hedging approach
