GROUPE SEB - BUY | EUR145 VS. EUR172 (+73%)
Annus horribilis with a two-speed year?

The weaker-than-expected Q2 numbers and a slashed FY22 outlook highlight the very challenging environment in which SEB operates. However, even the lower end of FY sales and ORfA guidance still call for a sequential improvement in H2, which generally represents 55% of FY sales and 65% of FY ORfA. Now that the CS expectations have been revised downwards by 16% to be aligned with the lower end of FY targets, we see quite limited downside risk. Having rebased our FY22-23 estimates, which leads to our new TP of EUR145, current 2022e P/E and 2023e P/E multiples trade at 29% and 40% discount vs. 5Y average. These levels could be appealing enough to play some contrarian catalysts in H2: confirmation of China’s prompt recovery, reduced impact of destocking, etc.

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
