NEW YORK - Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB), currently trading near its InvestingPro Fair Value and boasting a market capitalization of nearly $70 billion, announced Wednesday that its New York Branch (DBNY) and affiliate Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (DBTCA) will decrease their prime lending rate from 7.50% to 7.25%.
The rate reduction will take effect Thursday, September 18, 2025, according to a statement released by the bank.
The move marks a 25 basis point reduction in the benchmark rate that banks use to set interest rates on various consumer and commercial loans, including credit cards, home equity lines of credit, and small business loans.
Deutsche Bank, Germany’s leading bank with significant operations in Europe, the Americas, and Asia Pacific, offers commercial and investment banking, retail banking, transaction banking, and asset and wealth management services to a diverse range of clients including corporations, governments, institutional investors, small and medium-sized businesses, and private individuals.
The announcement comes amid broader interest rate movements in the financial sector. Prime lending rates typically adjust following changes in the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decisions.
The bank made the announcement in a press release statement but did not provide specific reasoning for the rate reduction.
In other recent news, Goldman Sachs has downgraded Deutsche Bank’s stock rating from Buy to Neutral. The decision was based on the stock’s recent rally, which has brought its valuation in line with the broader market. Goldman Sachs maintained a price target of EUR34.00 for Deutsche Bank. The investment bank highlighted that Deutsche Bank is trading at a price-to-earnings multiple of approximately 10 times its 2025 earnings per share estimate. This valuation is consistent with the price-to-earnings multiple of 9 times for its 2026 estimate. These developments reflect the current market conditions and the bank’s financial metrics. The downgrade suggests a more cautious stance on Deutsche Bank’s future performance.
