Erste shares have re-rated on the back of a strong growth, profitability, and capital trajectory between Q1 andQ3 2025, particularly since the announcement in May of the takeover of the third-largest bank in Poland. Despite continued solid sentiment, we think that our 2027 forecasts, enhanced by the Polish acquisition, are already reflected in the current share price, which, together with upside of less than 10%, warrants a downgrade from Outperform to Neutral.
Erste beat both the analyst consensus (EUR 836 mn) and our estimate (EUR 864 mn), reporting a net profit of EUR 901 mn. The outperformance was driven by strong NII and NFCI, further supported by a positive surprise in other results. The latter included an EUR 77 mn one-off gain in Romania, which offset banking levies. Asset growth remained healthy across both loans and deposits. Impairments were slightly higher than consensus. Guidance was upgraded for NII and CIR based on an improved earni...

We think that the robust outlook for Polish economic growth should offset mid-term uncertainty on fiscal policy and political risk. We have made a slight upward revision to our forecasts for pre-tax profit (by 1% to 4%) but lowered our EPS forecasts by 21% for 2026e and 4% for 2027e. After factoring in the full impact of the new tax bill, we have adjusted our target prices but remain cautiously positive on Polish banks. We favour mBank (upgrade to Outperform) for its upbeat long-term outlook and...
