NBG has reported EUR 358m in net income in 1Q24, with a 9% beat vs. the EUR 328m consensus. On a one-off adjusted basis, NBG’s EUR 380m net income from continuing operations is an 11% beat vs. the consensus (EUR 343m). The beat was due mainly to trading and other income (EUR 60m actual vs. the EUR 35m consensus). There is also a small EUR 10m beat in the core revenues (NII+fees). Overall, we see this as a decent quarter, particularly from the point of view of the capital generation. The bank add...
Piraeus has posted 1Q24 net income figures of EUR 233m and EUR 279m in reported and normalised terms, respectively. This indicates a 3% miss on the reported net income consensus (EUR 239m) and a 5% miss on the normalised net income consensus (EUR 295m). The miss was mainly revenue-driven, where other operating income/loss lines brought in a EUR 67m setback in the quarter, EUR 43m of which was related to the expenses associated with the HFSF stake sale. At first look, 1Q24 seems to have left us w...

We maintain our BUY rating for LPP, with a new 12M price target (PT) of PLN 20,842/share. Its image of superior corporate governance has been challenged with accusations of continued operations in Russia. In our view, while the management has proven the discontinuation of legal or personal links to its former operations, the damage has been done, especially in transparency. Despite declarations that all direct sales to Russia were suspended in 2Q22, LPP maintains indirect supplies to ReTrading. ...

We are revisiting and transferring coverage of the Greek banks. We estimate their earnings to plateau, and their ROTEs to normalise in 2024-26E, as the market expects short-term Euribor rates to decline. Capital and liquidity gain importance as there is less easy money. The emphasis will be on optimising balance sheets, returning capital, and minimising funding costs relative to Euribor. We like National Bank of Greece (NBG; BUY) for its profitability, simplicity, and potential to return capital...
