Stanbank - trading update May 2026
In the five months to 31 May 2026 (5M26 or current period), despite the uncertain global and regional operating environment, Standard Bank Group recorded a resilient performance. The group continued to benefit from its scale and diversification. In 5M26, compared to the five months to 31 May 2025 (5M25), earnings growth was underpinned by ongoing franchise momentum which drove balance sheet and revenue growth and a disciplined approach to costs and credit risk.
2026 outlook
The uncertainty brought about by the Middle East conflict, and the subsequent inflation and related monetary policy actions, has temporarily weighed on our clients' confidence to transact, invest, and borrow. Should the recent positive developments hold, we would expect confidence and momentum to return in the second half of the year.
At this stage, the group's guidance for the year ended 31 December 2026, as provided in March 2026, remains unchanged. This will be reviewed as part of the interim results process. An update will be provided when the group reports its financial results for the six months to 30 June 2026, on 13 August 2026.
