WOOD Flash – Bank of Cyprus: 3Q24 highlights
Bank of Cyprus (BOCH) announced EUR 130m in net income in 3Q24, bringing the 9M24 figure to EUR 401m. The bank grew its net income by 15% in 9M24 and had a ROTE of c.25%, with an 18.5% CET1. In our view, the 9M24 trends indicate upside risk for our 2024E and 2025E estimates. We believe that the market is still pricing in a tough long-term ROE scenario for BOCH, with 0.8x P/TBV and 4.3x P/E, on our 2024E estimates (not updated post 3Q24), which we believe is not on the horizon, with the current ECB rate outlook. We believe there is still room for a rerating for this stock, and investors can get paid while waiting (our 2024E and 2025E dividend yields at 12% and 9%, respectively). We rate BOCH a BUY, with a price target (PT) of EUR 5.83/share.
