    Delphine Lee's questions to ING GROEP (ING) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Delphine Lee of JPMorgan Chase & Co. revisited the NII outlook, asking for more detail on the drivers for the expected lending margin improvement in 2026-27. She also challenged the 2027 liability margin guidance, questioning why it couldn't meaningfully exceed 110 basis points given the significant tailwinds.

    Answer

    CFO Tanate Phutrakul reiterated that the lending margin improvement is based on an expected resumption of normal-paced commercial lending in wholesale, plus a greater share of higher-margin consumer and business banking loans. On the liability margin, he maintained that while tailwinds exist, the 100-110 bps guidance reflects a necessary balance between managing margins and competing for deposit volumes.

    Delphine Lee's questions to CREDIT AGRICOLE S A (CRARY) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Delphine Lee of JPMorgan Chase & Co. asked about the expected timing for the net interest income inflection in French retail, the specific sources of the larger-than-expected positive impact from Basel IV, and whether the stronger capital position could lead to a change in dividend policy.

    Answer

    Executive Jerome Grivet reiterated that an inflection in French retail net interest income is expected during 2025, dependent on short-term rates, deposit mix, and loan volumes in a competitive market. He explained the positive Basel IV impact was due to conservative initial assessments across all risk categories (equity, credit, operational) rather than one single surprise. Grivet indicated it is too early to change the dividend policy, suggesting the 50% payout ratio remains sensible.

    Question

    Delphine Lee followed up on the strategy in Italy, asking for the 'wish list' or best-case scenario for Crédit Agricole and Amundi. She also inquired about which countries would be prioritized for M&A opportunities that are slightly larger than typical bolt-ons.

    Answer

    Jerome Grivet, Executive, described the 'wish list' for Italy as developing existing partnerships, concluding new ones, and growing its own retail bank network simultaneously. For M&A, he noted that the focus remains on countries where the group already has a presence to ensure acquisitions are complementary and can be integrated effectively, rather than establishing new franchises in new countries.

    Delphine Lee's questions to BNPQY leadership • Q2 2024

    Question

    Delphine Lee's questions to BNPQY leadership • Q1 2024

    Question

    Asked about the NII trajectory in France and Belgium, questioning the timing of the recovery and whether it's mainly a 2025 story. Also revisited the Ageas deal, asking why the bank wouldn't want a larger stake given its attractiveness.

    Answer

    The NII recovery in France and Belgium is tied to the normalization of the yield curve, which is expected to begin in H2 2024 and accelerate in 2025 and 2026. The Ageas transaction was a specific opportunity to acquire a 9% stake from an exiting shareholder (Fosun), and was not part of a broader plan to build a larger position.

    Delphine Lee's questions to BNPQY leadership • Q4 2024

    Question

    Sought guidance for 2024 net income growth and asked for the drivers behind the expected revenue growth acceleration to mid-single digits by 2025 from the 2.5% seen in 2023.

    Answer

    The company does not provide single-year guidance, focusing instead on its long-term plan. The revenue acceleration is expected to come from a pickup in CIB as its integrated model gains traction, and a rebound in businesses like Personal Finance and Real Estate from their current lows.

    Delphine Lee's questions to BNPQY leadership • Q3 2023

    Question

    Inquired about the future top-line impact from normalizing used car prices at Arval, the status and earnings impact of exiting certain Personal Finance markets, and requested guidance on the volatile Corporate Center results.

    Answer

    The executive explained that at Arval, normalizing used car prices are offset by growth in financing and services. The exit from certain Personal Finance markets has a minimal impact on pretax income. The volatility in the Corporate Center is primarily due to isolating IFRS 17/9 accounting effects for insurance, and the underlying run-rate is stable.
