Erste’s net income came in at EUR 846 mln in Q2, up by 8% QoQ and down by 6% YoY while the figure came 9% ahead of consensus. The key contributors to better-than-expected earnings were higher other operating incomes and lower provisioning, which was partly offset by higher operating results. After H1 results, Erste gave an upgraded guidance, which contained a DPS projection of EUR 3 from 2024 profit (c. 6.7% DivY). This is reflecting better revenue trends, as NII is seen to be flat YoY vs....

We remain BUYers of Erste Bank and increase our 12M price target (PT) to EUR 57.0/share (from EUR 49.5/share), or 27% upside. We continue to consider Erste Bank a well-capitalised bank, which should offer attractive dividend/buyback returns to shareholders and keep its optionality to deliver business growth, in our view. The bank’s double-digit ROEs imply capital generation that can fund solid single-digit growth and solid dividends at the same time, with no weakening of the very strong capital ...

The CEE region is expected to deliver a moderate rebound of GDP growth in 2024,following the preceding year’s weak growth, fuelling expectations of sustainable profits inthe banking sector.

Even with a diminished potential for much intra-year improvement of the inflationpath in 2024, this inflation provides several CEE central banks more room to cut policy ratesthis year. Lower interest rates are expected to ...
