Petrom - OMV Petrom In Line With Expectations; 5.8% Dividend Yield
Opinion: Overall, the quarterly results were positive and in line with expectations. The strategy update is a constructive step. The dividend remains defensive due to elevated CAPEX, but this high CAPEX is temporary. While some negative regulatory measures remain in place and new ones are emerging in the form of a higher royalty burden, which triggered the impairment . Initial commentary on the exploration well in Bulgaria sounded negative.

OMV - OMV Is Delivering on consensus and pays EUR 4.40 Dividend
OMV reported Clean CCS EBIT of EUR 1,153 mn in Q4 2025, down 9% QoQ and 16% YoY. This was slightly below the analyst consensus of EUR 1,168 mn, but above Concorde’s estimate of EUR 1,127 mn. Clean CCS profit attributable to shareholders reached EUR 548 mn, in line with our expectations and above the consensus of EUR 491 mn, as many analysts appear to have overlooked the unusually low minority interest in the quarter. This reflects the fact that the largest impairment was booked in Romania,...

Halfway out of the turbulence
Summary We leave our TP at 20.0 GBP and reiterate our Buy recommendation, reflecting the ongoing restructuring story. Following the fiscal Q3/26 conference call held on 29 January, we repeatedly concluded that the fruitful strategic overhaul is under way. The management is building back confidence, so that’s good news for value investors. The problem is that they have to manage high-capacity growth (+24% seats and +30% ASK) during fiscal Q2/27. Key question remains how the market will be able ...

Erste – reinitiation of coverage
We reinitiate the coverage of Erste Bank with a Neutral recommendation. Our 2026 year-end ex-dividend target price is EUR 107.0, which implies an upside potential of approximately 4.6%. For 2025, we forecast a dividend of EUR 0.76 per share, corresponding to a payout ratio of 10%. At current levels, the stock trades at 1.88× P/TBV, 13.7× 2025 P/E, and 11.5× 2026 P/E.

Raiffeisen beats consensus on lower costs and impairments
Key message: Raiffeisen beat market consensus on ex-Russia profit, delivering EUR 416m versus EUR 325m consensus, driven mainly by lower operating costs, lower Polish FX-related expenses, and lower loan-loss impairments, partly offset by significantly weaker other operating income. The lower cost base and reduced impairments point to efficiency improvements and a healthier-than-expected credit environment, reflected in low default levels. Raiffeisen proposed a EUR 1.60 dividend, slightly a...
