Analyst projections of the future price of Societe Generale stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
SocGen posted record net income of €5.4bn in the first nine months of 2026, up 17.3% year on year, with 12.3% ROTE already above its full-year target. That points to strong earnings momentum. (Société Générale)
The bank is improving efficiency while growing: nine-month revenue rose 4.1% and costs fell 3.2%, taking its cost-to-income ratio to 58.8%. If this operating leverage continues, it could support further profit growth. (Société Générale)
A 13.4% CET1 ratio, about 320 basis points above the regulatory requirement, gives SocGen room to return capital. Its 2029 plan envisages more than €21bn of ordinary and potential excess-capital distributions over 2026–29. (Société Générale, Société Générale)
The investment bank’s Q3 equities revenue surged 46%, but fixed-income revenue fell 21%. This uneven performance leaves results exposed to trading conditions and raises questions about the durability of recent growth. (Reuters)
Political and budget uncertainty in France could weigh on growth and expose banks to higher taxes. J.P. Morgan also warned the banking-sector surcharge might be extended, creating a potential earnings drag. (Boursorama)
SocGen still has relatively high costs and weak profitability, and its new plan relies on further savings and growth to lift ROTE to 13–14% by 2029. If execution falls short, the turnaround may not close its gap with peers. (Reuters)
