Guidance upgraded by the new CEO

Erste’s net income came in at EUR 846 mln in Q2, up by 8% QoQ and
down by 6% YoY while the figure came 9% ahead of consensus. The key
contributors to better-than-expected earnings were higher other operating
incomes and lower provisioning, which was partly offset by higher
operating results. After H1 results, Erste gave an upgraded guidance, which
contained a DPS projection of EUR 3 from 2024 profit (c. 6.7% DivY). This
is reflecting better revenue trends, as NII is seen to be flat YoY vs. -3%
YoY, while fees are expected to grow by 10% vs. 5% seen earlier
