Banca Transilvania: bad news in the price, time to re-rate (upgraded to BUY)

We have upgraded Banca Transilvania to BUY (from Hold), in view of its excessive discount vs. its peers, and the strong outlook ahead. Following the recent share price under-performance (down 14% in 2022, -4.1% ytd), Banca Transilvania now trades at a P/E of 5.2x on our 2023E earnings, a discount of c.30% vs. its 10-year average, its regional peers and local peer BRD. The P/TBV appears high on 2022, but falls materially from 2023E-onwards, due to the build-up in equity via strong earnings capacity and the revaluation of the bond portfolio. We have increased our price target (PT) to RON 27/share (from RON 20.2/share).
