BRD-GSG: dividend disappointment (stays HOLD)

BRD’s shares remain fairly priced, in our view, despite the relatively soft performance ytd (+3.8% vs. +5.3% for the BET Index and +19.1% for the SX7E). BRD trades on a P/TBV of 1.3x and a P/E of 7x on our 2023E figures, in line with Banca Transilvania and at a premium to its regional peers. Although we expect a supportive outlook for 2023E, with a strong bottom line (net profit again above RON 1.3bn) and the reinstatement of dividends, we believe this is reflected in the current valuation already. We reiterate our HOLD rating on the stock, but raise our price target (PT) to RON 14.5/share, from RON 12.8 previously.
