We keep our BUY on NLB Group (NLB), upping our price target (PT) to EUR 199.9/share (from EUR 176.0), offering c.20% upside. Due to the ECB’s interest rate cuts and high costs, we expect 2025E to continue to be somewhat challenging, with the bottom line compressing by 6%. This should, however, be the trough and, going forward, we expect positive jaws and bottom-line expansion from mid-to-high single digits in 2026-28E. Despite the 31.5% ytd rally, we still see NLB’s valuation as attractive, bein...

The Greek banking index has risen by 53% (62% with dividends), driven by higher P/E multiples and EPS upgrades since our April 2024 reinitiation. In this report, we raise our average normalised EPS forecasts for the big four Greek banks under our coverage by 10% for 2025E and 11% for 2026E, due mainly to stronger fees and lower COR. Our NII estimates for 2025-26E remain broadly unchanged, despite the lower-than-expected interest rates. The banks have also maintained their 2025-27E targets in the...
