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...
EME Equity Market – November 2025 Czech PX leads in November, Türkiye the only loser. The MSCI EM Europe Index added 1.5% mom in EUR terms and 2.1% mom in USD terms in November. The Czech PX was the top performer, adding 4.7% mom in EUR terms, followed by the Greek ASE and the Hungarian BUX (+4.4% and +3.7% mom, respectively, in EUR terms). The Romanian BET and Polish WIG 20 were also in the green (+1.3% and +1.0% mom in EUR terms). The only loser was the Turkish ISE 30 (-2.0% mom in EUR terms).
Broad earnings resilience, but no spark for upgrades… – Systemic Greek banks delivered results broadly in line with our estimates and consensus. NII momentum stabilised in 3Q (-0.2% q/q), effectively marking the trough after three consecutive quarters of deceleration, given Euribor’s plateauing. Fees posted a mild q/q decline—consistent with our forecasts—reflecting seasonal softness in payments and money transfers, while bancassurance and asset-management’s AuMs continued to expand at a strong ...

The macro backdrop entering 2026E remains broadly supportive for high-dividend strategies across Emerging Europe and the frontier markets, but the opportunity set has clearly narrowed. After a year of sharp repricing across the WOOD universe, the high dividend conditions of 2024-25 have largely disappeared, as a result of many sectors rerating materially. As a result, high-dividend exposure is no longer a broad regional trade: the most compelling opportunities are now concentrated. However, the ...

Graphisoft Park SE (GSPARK) has generated a total return of more than 95% since we upgraded it to a BUY in September 2020. Over the same period, the total return of European real estate stocks has been flat, as the sector is yet to recover from the higher rate environment. We continue to see GSPARK as offering great value, with low leverage, a high ROE, conservative valuations, and a unique, campus-like portfolio. We forecast the FFO broadly flat yoy in 2026E and expect a moderate step-up in cap...

Last week (13 November) Aquila Part Prod Com (Aquila) reported its 3Q25 results, with a net profit of just RON 4.4m and EBITDA of RON 39.5m (-15% yoy), or an EBITDA margin of 4.4% (161bp below the 3Q24 level and 141bp below 1H25). This was a negative surprise as, in August, the company had guided for an EBITDA margin >6% in 2H25E. During the earnings conference call on 14 November, management noted that the 3Q25 gross margin came under pressure due to price adjustments, especially in the Traditi...
