We keep MONETA Money Bank as a HOLD, and set our 12M price target (PT) at CZK 116.2/share (up from CZK 90.1/share). We consider MONETA a solid dividend payer, and its 9%+ yield is responsible for the majority of the return that we see for investors in the next 12 months. Its high single-digit dividend yield remains the key investment angle for us and a reason we remain HOLDers of the bank, amid its relatively high valuation vs. its regional banking peers. The growth strategy guided by management...

TBC has reported GEL 329m in net income for 2Q24 (up 12% yoy), broadly in line with the GEL 314m consensus and our GEL 321m estimate.
