Bulls say / Bears say
BLKB delivered a solid first half of 2026: operating revenue rose 4.2% to CHF 248.9 million and net profit increased 5.3% to CHF 96.5 million, with growth across all business areas. Credit volumes also expanded by CHF 95.7 million from year-end 2025. (BLKB)
The core franchise showed resilience in 2025, with group revenue up 4.6% to CHF 499.1 million, supported by investment, wealth-management and trading activities. BLKB maintained distributions to the canton and certificate holders despite the Radicant-related charge, supporting the income case. (BLKB)
S&P reaffirmed BLKB’s AA+ rating with a stable outlook on April 29, 2026, citing its strong capitalization, stable earnings base and the guarantee from the AAA-rated Canton of Basel-Landschaft. This supports funding access and provides meaningful downside protection relative to many regional-bank peers. (BLKB)
Radicant remains a material overhang: BLKB estimates the failed digital-bank venture will cost CHF 180–190 million in total, with liquidation scheduled to continue through the end of 2026. The episode also carries reputational and political-governance risks. (SRF)
Management execution risk is elevated after the appointment of a new CEO and bank-chair in 2026, while CFO Luca Pertoldi also left and was replaced on an interim basis. Multiple senior changes could slow strategic implementation during the post-Radicant reset. (BLKB)
Mortgage growth was only 0.7% in the first half of 2026, indicating limited momentum in BLKB’s core lending franchise amid a challenging interest-rate environment. A prolonged low-rate or competitive pricing backdrop could pressure net interest income and margins. (BLKB)
