BNP Paribas Fundamental Analysis

So, why am I bullish on BNP amid its correction?
BNP Paribas raised its mid-term profitability targets during its last earnings beat and announced an additional €600 million in cost savings for 2026. I am bullish on its CIB division, which performed exceptionally well despite market challenges, especially in debt capital markets. I am equally bullish on the pending €5.1 billion acquisition closure of AXA Investment Managers, which should boost its asset management unit.
