Trending Headlines about Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft

Here are the key news stories impacting Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft this week:

• Positive Sentiment: DB appears on a Zacks “Best Value Stocks” list, which can attract value-focused inflows and supports the case for upside from valuation. Best Value Stocks to Buy for January 20th
• Neutral Sentiment: Deutsche Bank’s research team reiterated a “buy” on Creo Medical after strong FY25 growth — a normal analyst action that highlights DB’s ongoing research franchise but has limited direct impact on DB’s own profits short-term. Deutsche Bank maintains ‘buy’ on Creo Medical after strong FY25 growth
• Neutral Sentiment: DB’s research also placed a short-term “Catalyst Call: Sell” on Illinois Tool Works — another routine trade call that underscores the bank’s active flow/research business but is unlikely to move DB shares materially. Deutsche Bank Puts “Catalyst Call: Sell” on Illinois Tool Works (ITW) Ahead of Q4
• Negative Sentiment: Reputational / client-risk headline: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said DB CEO Christian Sewing called to distance the bank from an analyst report suggesting Europeans might sell U.S. Treasuries (the “Greenland” report). That episode raises concerns about research oversight, client relationships (notably with the U.S. Treasury), and potential regulatory or PR fallout — a source of short-term volatility and reputational risk. Bessent says Deutsche Bank CEO called to distance bank from analyst’s Greenland report
• Negative Sentiment: Labor pressure: Germany’s DBV union is demanding a 7% pay rise for up to 8,000 Deutsche Bank employees, which could increase costs if settled and slightly pressure margins, especially in a high-inflation / margin-sensitive environment. Union demands 7% wage increase for thousands of Deutsche Bank group staff
