We have lowered our 12M price target (PT) slightly, to PLN 212.4/share (from PLN 227.5), as a consequence of our model adjustments. We have reduced our dividend payout ratio to 50%, from 62.5% previously, and rolled our model forward to 2027E. We are bought in to the potential equity story of Bank Pekao on its own, and see it as well positioned for a potential new lending cycle. It may also be boosted by the new management getting back on track with a decision-making process oriented towards mar...
