Cyborg Score Rationale
Van Lanschot Kempen demonstrates solid fundamentals with 8.8% revenue growth to €726M in 2024 and 11.3% earnings growth. The firm maintains a multi-decade track record, substantial AUM of €149B, and recent strategic acquisitions. However, recent capital changes (ING acquisition of 17.6% stake in July 2025) and competitive pressures in wealth management slightly temper the outlook.
