SoftBank Group Q2 profit blows past expectations; sells Nvidia stake for $5.8 bln
Investing.com -- BFF reported strong third-quarter 2025 results that exceeded analyst expectations, with revenues 10% above estimates at €97 million compared to Kepler Cheuvreux’s forecast of €88 million.
The outperformance was primarily driven by a stronger other income line, which reached €16 million versus the expected €8 million, while net interest income was broadly in line with projections at €59 million.
Adjusted net profit for the quarter came in at €43 million, representing a 15.7% increase compared to analyst estimates. The company achieved this through higher income generation and tight cost discipline, resulting in a cost-to-income ratio approximately 400 basis points better than anticipated.
BFF’s shares rose 4% following the earnings announcement.
The bank reported a CET1 ratio of 13.4%, with a pro forma ratio of 15.2% compared to Kepler Cheuvreux’s forecast of 15.1%, demonstrating strong capital generation capabilities.
Following the Bank of Italy’s removal of dividend restrictions, BFF raised its internal distribution threshold from 12% to 13%. The company now has approximately €108 million of excess capital, of which €88 million has been accrued.
