The stock surged 12.5% as ABN AMRO delivered notable beats in fee income and commercial net interest income, underpinned by record-high clearing fees and solid deposit growth, while also lowering full-year cost guidance.

• Net profit increased 12% year-over-year to EUR 693 million, driving a return on equity of 10.7%.
• Commercial net interest income rose by EUR 36 million, supported primarily by growing deposit volumes despite a slight margin contraction on mortgages from a larger share of government-backed loans.
• Fee income climbed 6% quarter-on-quarter, driven by new client account pricing and robust trading activity amid high market volatility, especially in clearing and global markets.
• Costs are coming down faster than expected, prompting a lowered full-year cost guidance to approximately EUR 5.5 billion, with EUR 60 million saved in Q1 alone.
• Credit quality remains stable with a low cost of risk at 9 basis points despite geopolitical uncertainties; capital remains strong with a CET1 ratio of 15.5%.
