DWS Group’s Executive Board has decided to raise its mid-term targets. DWS now aims to achieve an annual Earnings per Share (EPS) growth of 10 to 15% until 2028 and to reach a Cost-Income-Ratio (CIR) of below 55% until 2027, prompted, amongst others, by the overachievement of the previously communicated targets for 2025 with an EPS of EUR 4.64 and a CIR of 58.0%.
In addition, DWS Group’s Executive Board is committed to propose to use a substantial part of the excess capital position, which currently stands at EUR 1 bn, for the payment of an extraordinary dividend in 2027, subject to capital commitment for organic and inorganic growth initiatives.
