The lower supply pressure and turning interest rate cycle have helped CEE bank bonds outperform this year, particularly in the unsecured segment. The relative value metrics of CEE bank bonds remain enticing though versus European comparables, from a bank fundamental and instrument rating angle. We expect to see a further outperformance of CEE names.

We have downgraded CD Projekt (CDR) to SELL (from Hold), on valuation grounds. We have revised up our 12M price target (PT) to PLN 157 (from PLN 120), mostly to reflect our increased price point assumption for AAA games in the mid-term, corresponding with rising games’ development budgets. We also implement slightly more optimistic assumptions for the back-catalogue sales and the Cyberpunk sequel (Orion) sales volumes. At the same time, we note that CDR’s share price has rallied by 50% since our...

We keep Komercni Banka as a BUY, and we set our updated 12M price target (PT) at CZK 959/share, 26% upside. We see the c.11% annual dividend yield, persisting over the next two years, as the key attraction, which limits the downside, at the same time, in this volatile market environment. On top of this, we see our current 2024E forecasts as being on the conservative side and yielding some upside risk, if management delivers on its 2024E guidance, especially with respect to the NII turnaround. De...

Erste’s net income came in at EUR 846 mln in Q2, up by 8% QoQ and down by 6% YoY while the figure came 9% ahead of consensus. The key contributors to better-than-expected earnings were higher other operating incomes and lower provisioning, which was partly offset by higher operating results. After H1 results, Erste gave an upgraded guidance, which contained a DPS projection of EUR 3 from 2024 profit (c. 6.7% DivY). This is reflecting better revenue trends, as NII is seen to be flat YoY vs....
