BNP Paribas S.A. (BNPQY)

Executive Summary

BNP Paribas is the largest bank in the eurozone by assets and, in our view, one of the most durable and best-diversified franchises in European finance — yet it still trades at a valuation that prices in chronic skepticism rather than the record results the company keeps delivering. At roughly €92 per ordinary share (~$54.50 for the BNPQY ADR, which represents one-half of an ordinary share), the stock changes hands at about 9 times FY2025 earnings of €10.29 per share and slightly under tangible book value of roughly €100 per share, while generating an 11.6% return on tangible equity and returning ~60% of earnings to shareholders through a €5.16 dividend (~6% yield) and buybacks.
