Interim results expected tomorrow, in a favorable regional context
The group will publish its second quarter and first half 2026 results on July 31st. The announcement comes following a series of positive signals from the regional banks: Crédit Agricole Atlantique Vendée published on July 27th an interim net result up 32.3% to €81.6 million, driven by net banking income rising 11.3%. On the operational side, the group also finalized in early July the acquisition of 100% of CAWL from Worldline and increased its stake in Banco BPM to 29.3%.
