GREEK BANKS | DTC headwinds fade, dividends rise, and value beckons
Strong Q3 Results Reinforce Optimism on Lending Growth and NII Resilience - Greek banks delivered another strong quarter in Q3, surpassing our and consensus estimates, driven by higher-than-expected NII (+3% vs cons) and significantly lower impairments (-25% vs cons). Despite NII headwinds, the NIM held firm at 2.74%, driven by low deposit betas (17% of the overall deposit base), resilient lending spreads (-12 bps ytd), incremental yields from reinvested bond portfolios, and strong credit growth...

OPAP: licence to yield (reinitiating coverage with a BUY)
We reinitiate coverage of OPAP, with a BUY rating and a price target (PT) of EUR 18.9/share, which implies 18% upside from the current levels. Safe never looked so good, in our view. OPAP is delivering results cementing its steady growth and low gearing qualities, coupled with a generous shareholder remuneration policy and an attractive valuation.

Robust H1 with adj. EBITDA and net profit +5% yoy; FY24 guidance out of sync with H1 performance – Jumbo has announced quite solid H1 results in line with our estimates, delivering 5.5% adj. EBITDA growth on +8% sales increase (the latter was pre-announced). Underpinning the robust performance was the surprising resilience of gross margins (flat yoy at 55.3%), as Jumbo continued to navigate supply chain challenges efficiently, which was only partly diluted by opex inflation (opex +13% yoy, due t...

GREEK MARKET PULSE | Autumn Chill
The ATHEX has shed c3% since the start of August, significantly underperforming vs both broader Europe (Stoxx 600 +0.7%) and periphery markets (MIB +2.8%). Performance has been weighed down primarily by banks, which have fallen c7% over the period, compared to a c4% return registered by their EU peers. Non-financials have also stalled, with just a handful of companies in the green since August (mostly from the mid-cap space). Of note is that this move is out of sync with fundamentals, as most co...

Q2 EBITDA +3% yoy, a bit above our expectations, on better than anticipated top line; guidance reiterated – OPAP Q2 shaped a bit better than our expectations, but without looking overly exciting, with revenues (GGR) growing +7% yoy (better than the +4.2% growth registered in Q1) and EBITDA returning to growth (€183m, +3% yoy) after the c3% decline in Q1. Across the channels, retail was soft at -1.3%, likely affected by seasonal factors, but online eclipsed our numbers with a whopping +33% increa...
