UniCredit stock (ISIN IT0005239360) traded at EUR 83.57 on Milan on September 18, 2026, after Bank of America raised its price target to EUR 113 from EUR 100 the same day. The move leaves the shares below the 52-week high of EUR 86.42 and above the 52-week low of EUR 57.36.

Target gap stays wide

According to Bolsamania on September 18, 2026, Bank of America said the bank sees 32.7 percent upside after lifting the target from EUR 100 to EUR 113. The same report said the case rests on stronger net interest margin growth and shareholder payouts.

For investors, that matters because the gap between EUR 83.57 and EUR 113 is still material even after the share has moved close to its yearly peak. The 52-week range of EUR 57.36 to EUR 86.42 shows how tightly the stock has already compressed toward the top of that band.

Latest operating backdrop

According to Ad-hoc-news on September 18, 2026, J.P. Morgan reiterated a Buy rating on UniCredit with a price target of EUR 94 per share. The report framed the bank's earnings power as the key reason behind the call.

UniCredit reported first-half 2026 revenue of EUR 13.3 billion and net profit of EUR 6.1 billion in its latest half-year release, while net profit in the second quarter of 2026 was EUR 3.3 billion and revenue was EUR 6.1 billion, according to the company's investor relations page of September 18, 2026. The half-year result gives the stock a current earnings base of 45.9 percent net profit margin, using the figures disclosed for the first six months of 2026.

Price near the top

UniCredit stock closed at EUR 83.57 on September 18, 2026, with the 52-week high at EUR 86.42 and the 52-week low at EUR 57.36. That puts the shares within EUR 2.85 of the peak.
