What buying Commerzbank would mean for UniCredit — and the banking sector

Key Points

Last week, UniCredit announced it had taken a 9% stake in Commerzbank, confirming that half of this shareholding was acquired from the government.
UniCredit continues to surprise markets with some stellar quarterly profit beats.
It earned 8.6 billion euros last year (up 54% year-on-year), also pleasing investors via share buybacks and dividends.
Analysts are hoping that a move by UniCredit will encourage more cross-border consolidation.
