OTP : Headwinds ahead, geopolitical discount warranted

We like how OTP has diversified its presence from Hungary towards the euro area over the last decade. However, 60% of assets are still “contaminated” with heightened geopolitical and state intervention risks limiting further upside potential from the undoubtedly strong fundamentals and above-average ROE following the re-rating since late 2022. While M&A opportunities appear scarce, the impending trade war could distort growth ambitions going forward. We downgrade our rating to Neutral vs Outperform.
