We reiterate our BUY on Orange Polska (OPL) and raise our 12-month price target (PT) to PLN 10.40/share, from PLN 9.91, implying 16% upside potential. Despite our current preference for more cyclical high-beta names, we continue to see Orange Polska as one of the safest defensive bets among the Polish blue chips, offering stable growth and relatively attractive dividend yields in the mid-term (c.6-7% in 2025-26E, on our estimates). The equity story has become even clearer now that the 700MHz auc...

In our airlines coverage, we see Wizz Air (BUY, PT GBP 20) as the key beneficiary of a potential re-opening of Ukraine. We expect Ryanair and Wizz Air to move in strongly to Ukraine after it reopens, and we expect that the two carriers may end up with a large share of the Ukrainian aviation market. 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...
