Alpha Bank: Trading at an extreme discount (stays BUY)

Alpha Bank continues to trade at distressed multiples, despite the clear visibility on lowering its NPE ratio to single-digit levels over the next 12 months, without depleting its current capital ratios. The stock trades at a P/TBV of 0.26x on our 2021E, a c.50% discount to both Eurobank and NBG. We see this as extreme, in view of the strong visibility on completing transactions under Hercules II and delivering a ROTE of >7% in 2023E. We maintain our BUY rating on the stock and our price target (PT) of EUR 1.5/share.
