WOOD Flash – Eurobank: 4Q17 – reassuring asset quality trends should please investors

Eurobank has reported a solid quarter, with supportive asset quality trends. We liked the big drop in the NPE stock and the large negative new NPE flow. On the positive side, we also highlight the improvement in capital (fully-loaded CET1 ratio +70bps qoq to 15.3%) and an impact from IFRS 9 that is at the low end of the consensus range. We expect a positive market reaction post the reassuring set of numbers. The stock trades at a 2017 P/TBV post the IFRS 9 implementation of 0.34x.
