Santander will lead the rise in profits of a soaring European banking sector

UBS and Deutsche Bank are optimistic about the future prospects of Banco Santander, citing its new strategy and recent acquisitions of Webster and TSB. They expect Santander to lead in profit growth among European banks, with a predicted 48% increase in earnings per share by 2028. This growth is expected to be driven by rising interest rates, low delinquency rates, and high financing needs.

Santander's transformation and acquisitions are seen as key factors in its success, with UBS predicting that it will more than double the average growth of major European banks' earnings per share between 2026 and 2028.
