COMPANY NEWS
SANTANDER. Studies the sale of 13% of Santander Poland. OVERWEIGHT
According to the press, SAN would have hired Goldman Sachs and Citi to analyse the sale of its remaining stake in Santander Polska (13%, after it sold 49% to Erste in May for € 7 Bn), which would be valued at € ~1.6/1.9 Bn vs. our € 1.8 Bn valuation. According to this source, SAN would be studying the possibility of selling this 13% stake through an accelerated placement on the open market. Positive news but partially expected and with limited impact. We estimate that the sale of this 13% stake would generate around € 500 M of capital gains, which would have a positive impact on capital of ~8bps (extrapolating the impact from the sale in May, ~25bps if we also consider the deconsolidation of RWAs) vs. 13.09% released in September’25.
