Patria Bank: Fair value in Romania (stays HOLD)

We maintain our HOLD recommendation on Patria Bank, and increase our price target (PT) to RON 0.104/share, offering upside of c.12.7%. We have updated our estimates for 2021E to reflect management’s budget, and rolled our model over by one year, so it includes our 2023E estimates. We continue to appreciate the bank’s profitability growth potential, coupled with an improved capital base. However, while some fundamentals have improved, its asset quality has declined somewhat, due mostly to the COVID-19 pandemic; and, at 0.9x and 0.8x P/BVs for 2021E and 2022E, respectively, on our estimates, we continue to view the stock as fairly valued.
