WOOD Flash – Sberbank: June RAS results – 2Q20 read-across positive, but unlikely to tip the balance

This morning (8 July), Sberbank reported RUB 62bn in June 2020 RAS net income. Our general read-across from the 2Q20 RAS numbers to IFRS is positive, and we see upside risk for our 2020E numbers. That said, arguably, we are not out of the woods yet in terms of COR, given the increase in corporate restructurings. We also believe that the NIM is likely to get weaker down the line, and the bank may set a high C/I base for itself in 2020E. The RAS numbers still do not tip the balance for us, if we think about the intrinsic valuation. At peak next year P/E and 1x P/TBV, we believe that the stock is not attractively valued. We rate the Sber commons a HOLD. The stock is trading at 6.1x P/E and 1.0x P/TBV, on our 2021E numbers (please see our most recent report for further details).
