BT’s reported net income came to RON 1,132 mln in the first quarter, up by35% and 63% y-o-y and q-o-q, respectively.

After some relief for markets on the data front this week, a period of quiet in terms of macro news should offer a further window for new supply to come from EM issuers ahead of an expected summer lull. Spread levels remain well anchored and EM credit should continue to see robust demand from yield-seeking investors.

Overall, we see the bank’s 1Q24 results as positive. Despite the core pre-provision profit coming in largely in line with our expectations, we view the resilience of the NIM and the strong loan book expansion as constructive. The bargain gain was a positive surprise and, together with the very low COR, provided most of the c.27% bottom-line beat vs. our expectations.

Aquila has reported, at first glance, a soft set of 1Q24 numbers, but they were affected negatively yoy by several factors.

Aquila, we note, has a large portfolio of confectionaries, which make Easter an important holiday for the business. The second is that it has reassessed its Gradena portfolio, eliminating a number of SKUs, which will be replaced only in the coming q...

We expect the benign environment to offer further opportunities for new issuance, while spread levels look fairly tight.
