Between 2010 and 2024, HSBC Holdings maintained its position as the largest European bank by market capitalization. As of 2024, UBS ranked second, followed by Intesa Sanpaolo in third place. HSBC stood out as the only European bank with a market capitalization exceeding 100 billion euros in 2024.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was evident in the 2020 market values of most leading European banks. With the exception of UBS, all major European banks experienced a decline in market capitalization between 2019 and 2020. This downward trend becomes clear when examining the monthly development of market capitalization figures since the initial coronavirus outbreak in December 2019.
