The Polish banks have rallied 35% ytd, but the median total return for the LTM has arrived at 18%+ for the Polish banks under our coverage.

Wizz Air may start flying to India this year. Our feedback suggests that this long-anticipated move has been quite controversial among the buy-side. If it works out, it could up open access to a huge and fast-growing aviation market, with significant long-term potential. However, there are substantial execution risks, and we have heard that many believe that management should not divert attention away from its core business, which has been experiencing significant headwinds in recent years.

Given that European aviation capacity growth in 2025E is forecast by both IATA and Eurocontrol only at a mid-single digit pace, constrained by supply-chain issues, the gradual return of traffic to Isr...
