Commerzbank (ISIN DE000CBK1001) lowered its 2027 Pillar 2 capital requirement by 5 basis points to 2.10 percent on October 27, 2026. The new regulatory threshold gives Commerzbank stock a stronger capital cushion ahead of the bank's third-quarter results.

In an issuer release carried by MarketScreener on October 27, 2026, Commerzbank said the European Central Bank had reduced the additional Pillar 2 requirement for 2027. At least 1.18 percent of total capital must be covered by Common Equity Tier 1 capital, while the additional leverage-ratio requirement remains 0.10 percent.

Capital buffer stays above requirement

The pro forma Common Equity Tier 1 threshold for the group is 10.26 percent of risk-weighted assets, based on June 2026 figures. That threshold is 0.03 percentage points lower than under the previous decision. Commerzbank reported a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 14.40 percent at the end of June 2026, leaving a 4.14 percentage-point difference to the threshold.

The leverage-ratio requirement is 3.10 percent, compared with a reported leverage ratio of 4.30 percent in June 2026. The new SREP decision takes effect on January 1, 2027, making the regulatory change relevant beyond the next earnings release.

Results remain the next test

Commerzbank has scheduled third-quarter 2026 results for November 5, 2026. The regulatory update changes the capital backdrop, but the earnings release will provide the next company-specific evidence on revenue, profitability and capital returns.
