EME Equity Market – December 2025 Czech PX the best performer in December; no market in the red. The MSCI EM Europe Index added 3.4% mom in EUR terms and 4.6% mom in USD terms in December. The Czech PX was the top performer, adding 7.6% mom; followed by the Romanian BET (+7.1% mom); the Polish WIG 20 (+6.4% mom); the Greek ASE (+1.8% mom), the Turkish ISE 30 (+0.4% mom) and the Hungarian BUX (+0.2% mom; all in EUR terms).
HEADLINES: • Bank of Cyprus: paid to wait (stays BUY) • Polish utilities: 2030 capacity market price set at PLN 465/kW/year NEUTRAL • Orlen: receives response from Grupa Azoty about offer for Grupa Azoty Polyolefins NEUTRAL • CEZ: new government aiming to reduce power bills by c.10% or more NEUTRAL • OMV Petrom: preparing to drill offshore Bulgaria by the year-end NEUTRAL
We maintain our BUY on Bank of Cyprus (BOCH) and increase our price target (PT) to EUR 9.62/share (from EUR 9.34/share). BOCH is trading at 8.2x P/E and 1.3x P/TBV on our 2025E estimates. At our fair value, the bank would trade at 9.9x P/E and 1.6x P/TBV for 2025E. We believe that both the intrinsic and relative valuation cases remain intact. Investors will earn an 8% yield, while waiting for realistic rerating upside. In our view, the longer the bank holds this much excess capital, the higher t...
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 ...
HEADLINES: • Graphisoft Park: 3Q25 – results boosted by land plot sale POSITIVE • Aegean Airlines: 3Q25 – EBIT 13% ahead of our estimate, driven by 1% better CASK POSITIVE • Al Arabia Outdoor Advertising: weak 3Q25 financial results NEGATIVE • DO & CO: 2Q FY26 results in line with our estimates NEUTRAL • Ignitis Group: 3Q25 adjusted EBITDA 3% lower yoy on weak Green Generation and Reserve Capacities NEUTRAL • Bank of Cyprus: 3Q25 results highlights • Titan: takeaways from the Investor Day; ambit...
Bank of Cyprus has posted EUR 118m in 3Q25 net income, 15% above our estimate. We are positive on the 3Q25 results, with the earnings beat driven partly by stronger-than-expected cost control. Management has also finetuned and upgraded its 2025E guidance, and confirmed that, by 4Q25E, the NIM should have fully settled with the current rate environment, positioning the bank for NII expansion from 1Q26E. We have a BUY rating on Bank of Cyprus, with a EUR 9.3/share PT. The bank is trading at 9.1x P...
From Turnaround to Top-Tier Returns – Over the past decade, Bank of Cyprus (BoC) has executed one of Europe’s most far-reaching restructurings. From NPEs peaking at 63% in 2015, the ratio has collapsed to just 1.7% in H1’25, among the cleanest in Europe, with coverage at 124%. This derisking, coupled with high-rate sensitivity during the 2022–23 tightening cycle, propelled profitability to the top of the sector: RoTE reached 21.4% in 2024 (18.4% in H1’25), well above the 14–15% Greek/periphery a...

EME Equity Market – September 2025 Romanian BET led in September, while Türkiye and Hungary lagged. The MSCI EM Europe Index added 0.7% mom in EUR terms and 1.1% in USD terms. The Romanian BET was the top performer, adding 3.6% in EUR terms; followed by the Czech PX (+3.2% mom) and the Polish WIG20 (+1.1% mom) (all in EUR terms); while there was a muted performance from the Greek ASE (+0.6% mom in EUR terms). The Turkish ISE30 and the Hungarian BUX were the worst performing indices in September(...

We reiterate our BUY on Bank of Cyprus (BOCH). Our new price target (PT) is EUR 9.34. The bank is trading at 8.5x P/E and 1.2x P/TBV for 2025E, on our estimates (and 10.6x P/E and 1.6x P/TBV at target). With the Eurozone opportunity costs low (AT1 spreads at historic lows and the Cypriot 10-year at 2.9%), we still see value in BOCH, even after a 200% gain over the past two years, supported by its relative value versus its Eurozone peers with similar earnings power, but weaker capital.

EME Equity Market – August 2025 Corrections in Poland and the broader MSCI EM Europe. The MSCI EM Europe Index declined by 2.3% mom in EUR terms and was flat (0.0%) in USD terms in August. The Hungarian BUX was the top performer, adding 2.2% mom in EUR terms, followed by the Romanian BET (+1.9% mom), the Czech PX (+1.7% mom) and the Greek ASE (+1.4% mom) (all in EUR terms); while there was a muted performance from the Turkish ISE 30 (+0.4% mom in EUR terms). The biggest loser was the Polish WIG ...
HEADLINES: • Alior Bank: solid 2Q25, with a beat vs. the market's expectations on stronger other income and lower LLPs POSITIVE • Richter: 2Q25 results broadly in line NEUTRAL • Aselsan: 2Q25 results – strong beat, driven by operating performance POSITIVE • Turkish Airlines: 2Q25 – EBIT above the consensus on better costs POSITIVE • Isbank: 2Q25 highlights – a mixed bag, but management sounds confident in sharp margin recovery in 2H25E • Cimsa: 2Q25 financial results review – strong revenue grow...
Bank of Cyprus (BOCH) has reported EUR 118m in 2Q25 net income, 5% ahead of our EUR 113m estimate for the quarter. The 2Q25 bottom line brought the 6M25 net income to EUR 235m, suggesting meaningful upside risk for our EUR 393m 2025E estimate. Everything else being equal, we calculate that, if the sequential decline in the NII during 3Q25E and 4Q25E stays limited to the 2% qoq drop seen in 2Q25, there would be 10% upside for our 2025E net income estimate (pre-AT1 coupons). In 1H25, the bank also...
EME Equity Market – May 2025 EME indices mostly in the green in May, apart from Türkiye. The MSCI EM Europe Index added 3.6% mom in EUR and USD terms.

The Turkish ISE30 Index was, again, the worst performer, with a more modest decline (-1.4% mom in EUR terms) this time.
