Our target price for OMV is EUR 48.1, indicating a 27% upside potential, inclusive of the announced EUR 5.05 dividend. For MOL, we propose a target price of HUF 3,245, suggesting an 18% upside potential, factoring in an estimated dividend of HUF 250. We recommend 'Buy' for OMV and 'Accumulate' for MOL. In our opinion OMV holds a smaller risk. Despite challenges in the petrochemical sector, the company has achieved greater success with its international E&P portfolio, boasts more efficient refini...

Strong revenues but DPS may disappoint

OTP’s reported net income came to HUF 132.6 bln, while adjusted net income was atHUF 230.0 bln in the 4th quarter. This is 4% ahead of the market consensus of HUF221.3 bln while the figure remained below our estimate of HUF 271 bln (our net profitestimate was HUF 203 bln). Lower results stemmed from a (1) miss in the other income line (2) higher provisioning and (3) badwill release at Ipoteka given the weakerresults from the segment. Also, the Romanian loss on sale as well as the interest rateca...
