Bank shares have surged by 14%, yet questions linger over the possible acquisition of Commerzbank.

The Commerzbank share has experienced a significant surge this morning, with the stock climbing around 14% to approximately 14.10 euros. This uptick follows Unicredit's increased involvement in the German bank, as the Italian institution acquired 4.5% of Commerzbank shares from the German state for around 700 million euros.

At the beginning of the week, the Commerzbank share was stagnating at the 200-day line. However, yesterday evening, the share was at 12.60 euros. Today's rise in value marks a significant change in the bank's fortunes.

Unicredit's increased involvement is bringing much-needed new momentum to the Commerzbank share, and industry insiders suggest that Unicredit may have acquired even more shares than initially reported. The Italian bank outbid all other bidders and paid 13.20 euros per share for the acquired shares, showcasing industry interest in Commerzbank.

The potential price development of Commerzbank shares could have far-reaching implications. If the share continues to rise, it could start a new rally. The BÖRSE ONLINE editorial team recommends buying Commerzbank shares, with a target price of 15.80 euros. This recommendation is based on the perceived undervaluation of the Commerzbank share.

Besides Unicredit, other institutions attending the potential shareholders' meeting of Commerzbank have not been explicitly named in the available search results, and no specific information about their shareholding percentages is provided.

Regardless of a potential takeover, investors can bet on higher prices for Commerzbank shares. The increased involvement of Unicredit has brought the possibility of a Commerzbank takeover back into the spotlight. If a takeover were to occur, it could further boost the share price.

The potential price development of Commerzbank shares could benefit key figures in the publishing industry. The CEO and majority shareholder of the publisher Börsenmedien AG, Mr. Bernd Förtsch, and the board of the publisher Börsenmedien AG, Mr. Leon Müller, could both stand to gain from a rise in the Commerzbank share price.

Investors can continue to buy Commerzbank shares, making it an exciting time for those interested in the bank's future. The Commerzbank share is shooting up this morning, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops in the coming days.
