MOL reported its fourth quarter results this morning (21 February), which were below expectations, and announced its guidance for 2025E. The EBITDA was 24% lower than the previous quarter, at HUF 226bn, and 16% and 18% below our and the consensus expectations, respectively. The EBITDA was affected negatively by a large CCS effect of HUF 35.5bn, related mostly to carbon emissions permit costs. This accounted for almost all of the underperformance in downstream. The circular economy segment was hi...

Despite the initially cautious management guidance, Graphisoft Park (GSPARK) has delivered another strong year in 2024, with its FFO exceeding EUR 14m. Even after the stock’s recent rally, the company still offers a >10% FFO yield, ranking among the most attractively-valued real estate plays under our coverage and, we believe, in Europe. Weak economic growth in Hungary and a wave of new office developments planned in Budapest for 2025-26E pose risks, potentially keeping vacancy rates elevated an...
We remain below the consensus for 4Q FY25E, driven by a weaker RASK and elevated costs, both the ex-fuel (CASKx) and the fuel CASK. We expect the FY25E CASKx to reach EUR 2.8-2.9/ASK, roughly 20% higher yoy, which is likely to push the consensus FY26E CASKx estimates higher as well. This, in turn, could weigh on the consensus FY26E net profit forecasts (we are c.50% below the consensus). Another negative surprise would be most unwelcome, after three consecutive quarters of earnings misses, not t...

We maintain our BUY rating on MOL, with an updated 12M price target (PT) of HUF 3,600 (from HUF 3,810), offering 22% upside. Upstream projects in Azerbaijan, Hungary and Kazakhstan are boosting short-term production. Oil prices look stable, while we forecast a EUR 38/MWh gas price for 2025E. Most of the arbitrary taxes are now history. Refining margins remain at healthy levels, although petrochemicals margins are still poor. The Rijeka coker should boost margins and volumes later this year, and ...

Piraeus announced yesterday (6 February) that it has entered exclusive talks with CVC to acquire 70% of Ethniki Insurance, Greece’s largest insurer. While Ethniki’s 2024E financials are not out yet, based on the company’s 2023 adjusted ROTE and the announced EUR 469m price tag for 70% of the company, we estimate that Piraeus will pay between 8-9x P/E and 1.3-1.6x P/TBV for 2024E. According to Bloomberg, Piraeus is trading at 0.65x P/BV and 5.3x P/E multiples for 2024E. The bank expects a CET1 im...
