WOOD Flash – Bank of Cyprus: slightly weaker 3Q profitability; trends remain unchanged

Bank of Cyprus has reported 3Q21 recurring net profit of EUR 13m, slightly softer than our forecast of EUR 16m, due mainly to a weaker NII. We believe that the bank is on track to meet our FY21E organic net profit forecast of EUR 67m. In our view, the strengthening of profitability should now be management’s key focus, following the earlier delivery of the NPE ratio to below 10% and the higher capital (TCR >20%). The stock trades at an inexpensive P/TBV of 0.3x and a P/E of 7.2x on 2021E. We remain BUYers.
