Optima Bank: buying the dip (stays BUY)
We maintain our BUY on Optima Bank (Optima), with a revised 12M price target (PT) of EUR 8.92 (15.3% upside). We continue to expect strong loan book growth, supportive of vigorous NII expansion and best-in-class profitability. Given the growth prospects, the profitability profile, and in the absence of material asset quality deterioration, we do not see Optima’s valuation, trading at 1.95x P/BV and 9.27x P/E on our 2026E figures, as demanding. We view the recent dip as a decent buying opportunity.
