Q2 boosts Société Générale with record income, improved efficiency, and strong future targets.

Société Générale reported a strong Q2 with record net income, improved operating leverage, and a lower cost-to-income ratio. The bank's first half return on tangible equity (ROTE) reached 12%, and its new 2029 plan aims for 13–14% ROTE, sub-55% cost-to-income ratio, and sustained revenue growth. Strategic initiatives like BoursoBank, AI-driven efficiencies, and positive French retail trends support a robust medium-term earnings outlook beyond interest rate cycles. Despite these gains, the bank's valuation remains discounted compared to peers, but higher dividends, share buybacks, and excess capital distributions enhance total return potential for investors.
