MOL has signed a binding Heads of Agreement (HoA) to buy 56.15% of Serbian integrated oil company NIS from Gazprom Neft. The terms have not been disclosed and management expects the final agreement to be signed before the end of the first quarter of 2026E. The negotiations are ongoing with ADNOC for a minority stake. NIS has upstream operations, a single 96 kbpd refinery, and more than 400 retail sites. We see the acquisition as strengthening MOL’s operations and an excellent strategic fit.

The macro backdrop entering 2026E remains broadly supportive for high-dividend strategies across Emerging Europe and the frontier markets, but the opportunity set has clearly narrowed. After a year of sharp repricing across the WOOD universe, the high dividend conditions of 2024-25 have largely disappeared, as a result of many sectors rerating materially. As a result, high-dividend exposure is no longer a broad regional trade: the most compelling opportunities are now concentrated. However, the ...

We maintain our BUY rating on MOL with an updated 12M price target (PT) of HUF 3,730 (from HUF 3,600), offering 21.4% upside. Oil and gas prices have been a headwind in 2025 ytd, but we believe that MOL is less sensitive to this than may be fully recognised. The company is also investing at a slower rate than planned previously, boosting free cash flow. The fire at the Danube refinery in Hungary will reduce production there for a few months, in our view, but margins are strengthening and should ...
Trading activity remained subdued on the Bulgarian equity market on Thursday, with all major indexes slipping modestly below their previous levels. SOFIX (1 072.55, -0.21%) absorbed losses in eight of its fifteen constituents, led by Central Cooperative Bank (CCB, BGN 1.66, -2.35%). Support from Eleven Capital (11C, BGN 16.00, +3.23%) and Stara Planina Hold (SPH, BGN 9.85, +2.60%) helped soften the downside pressure on the broader gauges, yet both BGBX40 (193.26, -0.06%) and BGTR30 (946.00, -0.0...
Clean CCS EBITDA came in at USD 974 mn, beating both market consensus (USD 943 mn) and our estimates (USD 990 mn). The biggest positive surprise came from Refining within Downstream and the exceptionally strong performance of Consumer Services. Petrochemicals remained a heavy loss-maker, as expected, with a worsening outlook. However, Waste Management delivered a large and unexpected loss with limited commentary.
