Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).
The filed history looks like a business competitors struggle to attack: high and steady margins, revenue that grows through cycles, and strong returns on capital.
100.0% average over the last 3 years
±0.0 pts around 100.0% across 8 years
grew in 6 of the last 9 year-over-year periods
positive in 4 of 10 years
28.0% latest fiscal year
A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what ING's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. ING trades near $33.15, above its 50-day average ($30.12) and 200-day average ($27.76). Price above both averages, with the shorter one above the longer, is the textbook definition of an uptrend — momentum favours buyers.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 74 it is overbought — the recent rally is stretched and can cool off.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. ING's is $0.60 (~1.8% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month ING found buyers near $28.67 (support) and sellers near $32.86 (resistance); its 52-week range is $22.28–$32.86. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.3× the 20-day average — lighter than usual, so the move carries less conviction. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Gross Margin

Operating Margin
100.0%
Net Margin
32.4%
ROE
19.4%
ING Groep NV keeps about 29.9% of each sales dollar as net profit. Return on equity is 19.4% and return on invested capital about 28.0%. Margins this wide usually signal pricing power or a cost advantage.
Total Debt
$18.90B
Net Debt
-$39.58B
Net cash position
Net Debt / EBITDA
-1.43x
Debt / Equity
3.43x
Leverage: debt-to-equity is 3.4x, and operating profit covers interest about 0.7x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it. It carries roughly $18.90B of total debt against $58.48B of cash.
Operating CF
-$6.89B
Free Cash Flow
-$7.27B
FCF Margin
-26.2%
In the latest year ING Groep NV produced about -$6.89B of operating cash flow but negative free cash flow as it invested heavily. Cash flow is what ultimately pays shareholders, so it is worth tracking over time.
Can the payout survive a bad year? Scored from filed cash flow, earnings coverage, and the raise/cut record.
Coverage is weak, the payout was cut recently, or it's being financed rather than earned — treat the current yield as fragile.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for ING:
- Revenue is growing 92.9% a year, a sign of real demand.
- High net margins (29.9%) point to pricing power or efficiency.
- Strong return on equity (19.4%) shows capital is put to work well.
- Pays a 4.4% dividend on top of any price gains.
- Our model's overall read is Strong (76/100).
The case against ING:
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 3.4x) adds financial risk.
- Interest coverage is thin (0.7x), so debt costs bite.
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 3.4x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the fundamentals screen favourably: ING Groep NV is a large-cap financials business still growing nicely, with solid profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 8.3x earnings, which our model scores Strong (76/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
