WOOD Flash – Bank of Cyprus: 4Q18 results in line, positive news on capital

Bank of Cyprus reported its 4Q18 numbers this morning (4 March). The results are broadly in line with our estimates, but the stock price should be supported by the good news on capital (conversion of Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) to Deferred Tax Credit (DTC), adding 170bps to the CET1 ratio), in our view. Although we are HOLDers of the stock, we believe that the recent de-rating was extreme (down c.16% ytd, and trading currently at c.0.25x P/BV, on our 2019E estimates) and we would not be surprised to see a re-rating.
