We discussed last Thursday (4/18/24 Int'l Compass) how further downside may be limited with these two indexes already 4-5% off their highs, combined wi...

JET reported a mixed 1Q24 trading update. There was, again, good performance in its core European stronghold, Northern Europe & UK. There was continued weak performance in North America and Southern Europe & Australia. We have small upward revisions to our estimates. We remain positive on the overall investment case as we believe the business is at the inflection point to both grow and improve profitability. In our view, the positives strongly outweigh the negatives, and we reiterate our BUY rat...

We would remain most comfortable taking more risk in the liability structure in banks with stronger MDA headroom such as in Crédit Agricole...

>Conclusion: Stable NII, rising commission income, good cost control - For 1Q24 we forecast a net profit of € 494m (before € -14m hybrids costs). We expect the result is driven by a qoq stable net interest income (NII), some increase of the commission income and a lower cost as Q4 is seasonally higher. In non-life we expect +8% top line growth and normalised claims post-covid and there were no material one-off claim events in Q1. We estimate that the CET1 ratio will b...
