AIB Group Reports Nine-Month Results, Raises FY26 Net Interest Income Guidance

AIB Group reported nine-month net interest income of 2.87 billion euros, representing a 2% increase compared to the same period in the prior year, driven primarily by higher average volumes. Total income for the nine-month period rose by 3% year-over-year, with third-quarter net interest income reaching 1.0 billion euros. Reflecting this performance, the company upgraded its full-year 2026 net interest income guidance to above 3.85 billion euros, up from its previous forecast of above 3.8 billion euros. CEO Colin Hunt stated that the group remains focused on delivering sustainable growth and shareholder returns as it approaches the end of its current strategic cycle.

Additionally, the company noted that its search for a new CFO is well advanced and that it plans to provide an update on its next strategic cycle to 2030 during its 2026 annual financial results in March 2027.
