Bank of Cyprus: room for further rerating (stays BUY)

Following the 2Q24 results, BOCH raised its 2024E guidance, driven by better-than-expected trends and a more favourable interest rate outlook. We have revised our 2024E and 2025E net income estimates by 14% and 4%, respectively. The bank plans to improve its market visibility by delisting from the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and relisting on the Athens Stock Exchange (ATHEX). Despite a 24% rerating post-2Q24 earnings, we believe the valuation remains attractive, with our 2024E multiples of 4.8x P/E and 0.9x P/TBV, supported by strong capital ratios, high liquidity and a 10% yield on the 2024E net income. We maintain our BUY rating on BOCH, with an increased price target (PT) of GBP 4.90.
