Stock market operations boost investment banking income

Global investment banking fees are set to rise 17% in 2026, driven largely by a 67% surge in stock market fees. According to a Deutsche Bank report using Dealogic data, stock market transactions have already exceeded the total value of 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022 in just eight months. BBVA and Santander stand out among European banks, with significant growth in their commission income, at 35% and 28% respectively.

The stock market has been fueled by major listings, including SpaceX's record-breaking $75,000 million IPO and Alphabet's $85,000 million capital expansion. European companies such as Naturgy and ACS have also been involved in significant stock market operations.
