Deutsche Bank completes € 250 million share buyback program

Deutsche Bank (XETRA: DBKGn.DB / NYSE: DB) successfully completed its € 250 million share buyback program announced on September 16, 2025. Between September 17 and October 20, 2025, 8.4 million shares, or 0.43% of the bank’s share capital, were repurchased at a volume weighted average price of € 29.85 per share.

The bank’s total capital distributions to shareholders in 2025 amounted to € 2.3 billion, an increase of approximately 50% over 2024, resulting from share repurchases of € 1.0 billion from the two buyback programs and dividends for the financial year 2024 of € 1.3 billion (€ 0.68 per share) paid in May 2025. Cumulative capital distributions to shareholders from 2022 to 2025 have reached € 5.6 billion.

Deutsche Bank reaffirms its commitment to outperform its total capital distribution goal of € 8 billion in respect of the financial years 2021-2025, including distributions in respect of 2025 paid in 2026.
