Duration of the frightening assembly: How long will it continue?
Commerzbank is currently experiencing significant growth, with its shares performing exceptionally well in both 2025 and, albeit without specific data, in 2021 as well. The bank's stock has shown a remarkable rise, gaining 141% year-to-date in 2025, and reaching a multi-year high around €38[2][4].
This impressive performance has been driven by a combination of factors, including strong financial results, strategic progress, and positive investor sentiment. However, one key factor that has sparked much interest and speculation is the potential takeover offer from Italian bank UniCredit[2].
UniCredit has expressed interest in acquiring Commerzbank, and this takeover interest has been a significant driver of the recent share price rally in 2025. However, Commerzbank is reportedly resisting this takeover attempt, indicating no confirmed agreement or imminent deal as of mid-2025[2].
The valuation of Commerzbank remains a concern if no takeover offer from UniCredit materializes. If Commerzbank's valuation continues to rise without a takeover, it could become an issue. On the other hand, if a takeover offer from UniCredit is made, it could potentially address the bank's valuation concerns[2][4].
The performance of bank stocks this year, whether in 2021 or 2025, is still difficult to gauge. However, Commerzbank's performance is outperforming the rest of the bank stocks, both in 2025 and, presumably, in 2021 as well.

The growth and exceptional performance of Commerzbank's shares in 2025 could be attributed to various factors such as strong financial results, strategic progress, and positive investor sentiment, as well as a potential takeover interest from Italian bank UniCredit.
However, if no takeover offer from UniCredit materializes, the valuation of Commerzbank may become a concern and could potentially impact its business and investing prospects.
