Alpha IVF Group (ALPHA MK) - 3QFY24: Expected Sequential Recovery As E...

3QFY24: Expected Sequential Recovery As Earnings Meet Expectations Performance improved sequentially due to fewer doctors being on long leave.

We like Alpha IVF for its industry-leading success rates, growth off a low base, and superior margins relative to its peers. Maintain BUY. Target price: RM0.4...

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...

Alpha Bank - Full steam ahead

Alpha Bank (Alpha) reported €611m in net profit, a 66% jump from FY22, as the bank benefited from an elevated interest rate environment with little impact from deposit migration and strong cost control. Alpha delivered a normalised return on tangible equity (RoTE) of 12.9% in FY23, beating its own upgraded target of >11.5%. The increased profitability coupled with a robust capital position (fully loaded common equity tier 1 (FL CET1) of 14.3%) have enabled a proposed dividend of €0.05 a share, s...

GREEK BANKS | Dividends Ahoy

Resilient NII despite funding challenges and likely interest rate cuts – Following a >50% surge in NII in 2023e (58% in the 9m period), investor focus has been clearly shifting to prospects for 2024-25e, especially in view of likely rate cuts. Despite the upcoming peak in NII (in Q4’23 or Q1’24), we project resilience in 2024, supported by credit growth (c4% p.a. in 2024-25e), the gradual benefit from deposit hedges (contributing c4% of NII by 2025e) as well as the lower-than-anticipated deposit...

With funding markets now calmer and confidence in the EU banking system gradually restored, we believe visibility on earnings has improved again and this has been manifested in the c8% b...

Strong fundamentals despite macro uncertainties – We remain constructive on Greek Banks’ 2023 outlook, despite the uncertainty around the impact of higher rates on economic growth and asset quality, the still precarious external environment and the trickier political backdrop. Notwithstanding the challenges, the fundamental dynamics for the sector are quite solid, with the overriding driver being the benefit from asset re-pricing in the light of rate hikes and the volume growth. Q3 results were ...
