Shares in ING Groep NV rose on Thursday after it launched a 1.5
billion-euro (1.47 billion) share-buyback program and as higher
rates helped it beat net-interest-income expectations in the third
quarter.
At 0931 GMT, shares were up 5.8% to EUR10.47.
Despite a quarterly net profit of EUR979 million that fell 10%
below expectations, higher rates helped net interest income--the
difference between how much a bank earns on clients' loans and how
much it pays for their deposits--to EUR3.33 billion, overcoming
expectations of EUR3.21 billion, according to company-compiled
consensus.
The Amsterdam-based company also upgraded its NII benefit from
higher rates by EUR1.5 billion for each of the next two years.
The bank's share buyback is around double the level of
consensus, according to Deutsche Bank analysts Benjamin Goy and
Marlene Eibensteiner, adding that with the third-quarter NII
performance, the results were good for investors.
ING said its buyback would end by Dec. 30, with any remaining
amount of the program after that date being paid out in cash to
shareholders.
