Siauliu Bankas: growth mindset (stays BUY)

We have updated our model on Siauliu Bankas to include the strong 1H22 performance and the softer macroeconomic outlook for 2023E. We believe that Siauliu Bankas is still able to deliver a double-digit ROTE in the next two years, as stronger loan growth and more resilient yields could be largely offset by higher interest expenses and cost of risk. After the solid share price performance in 2021 (+53%), Siauliu Bankas’ shares are down 23% ytd, trading currently at an appealing P/TBV of c.0.8x on our 2022E. We remain BUYers of the stock, and we increase our price target (PT) to EUR 0.86.
