Fundamentals taking over – Greek equities delivered an exceptional performance in 2025, emerging as one of the strongest markets globally, with the ASE General Index up c50%. This marked the 4th consecutive year of outperformance vs the Euro Stoxx 600, a streak not witnessed in the past two decades. The magnitude of the 2025 rally inevitably sets a high base heading into 2026 (especially since the ASE is already up c6% ytd).

We maintain our BUY on Optima Bank (Optima), with a revised 12M price target (PT) of EUR 8.92 (15.3% upside). We continue to expect strong loan book growth, supportive of vigorous NII expansion and best-in-class profitability. Given the growth prospects, the profitability profile, and in the absence of material asset quality deterioration, we do not see Optima’s valuation, trading at 1.95x P/BV and 9.27x P/E on our 2026E figures, as demanding. We view the recent dip as a decent buying opportunit...
