Last Friday marked the close of the annual “Deutsche Bank Technology Conference 2025,” where the company reaffirmed its focus on restructuring and integrating artificial intelligence (AI). Currently, more than two-thirds of customer support requests are processed with AI assistance. A new cross-domain user interface version of AI Canvas is planned for release between October and November. Management also expects an acceleration in building corporate data centers, both for in-house AI and external providers.

Additionally, executives highlighted the company’s Q4 earnings report, which showed revenue growth from $14.15 billion to $14.67 billion compared to $13.6 billion in the same period last year. Earnings per share (EPS) rose from $0.62 to $0.99, versus $0.87 last year. On October 22, the quarterly dividend payout is scheduled, with investors receiving $0.41 per share, up from $0.40 previously. The expected quarterly yield will reach 2.37%, above the industry median of 2.11%. The shareholder record date is set for October 3.
