HEADLINES: • PZU: discounted valuation for growing EPS and dividend yields (stays BUY) • Alior Bank: trading cheaply, but in stand-by mode (stays BUY) • Bank Pekao: complicated, but not value destructive (stays BUY) • Romania macro: a frail situation • Georgia macro: NBG keeps policy rate unchanged, at 8.0%; sanctions from the US and the UK • Czech Republic macro: CNB keeps policy rate on hold • CEZ: government takes new nuclear financing plan under advisement NEUTRAL • NEPI Rockcastle: pre-clos...
We have lowered our 12M price target (PT) slightly, to PLN 212.4/share (from PLN 227.5), as a consequence of our model adjustments. We have reduced our dividend payout ratio to 50%, from 62.5% previously, and rolled our model forward to 2027E. We are bought in to the potential equity story of Bank Pekao on its own, and see it as well positioned for a potential new lending cycle. It may also be boosted by the new management getting back on track with a decision-making process oriented towards mar...
We keep Alior Bank as a BUY and increase our 12M price target (PT) to PLN 114.3/share (vs. PLN 111.1 previously), which, in essence, is a valuation call. Alior is still the one of cheapest Polish banks under our coverage (2024-25E P/E and P/BV of 4.9-5.9x and 1.1-1.0x respectively) and offers a 10%+ dividend yield in the next 12 months. We see the bank as having a higher risk profile, and therefore, while the upside is appealing, especially the dividend yield, we see better risk-reward profiles ...
We rate PZU a BUY, with a new 12M price target (PT) of PLN 64.9/share, offering 42% upside potential. PZU is one of our top picks among the regional financials. We see its discounted valuation (2025E P/E of 6.8x and P/BV of 1.2x), and its status as one of the most reliable dividend payers in the region (9%+ yield next year), as attractive. This is in combination with positive fundamentals, including improving EPS momentum (our 2025E EPS is +18% yoy) and a medium-term performance supported by the...

NEPI Rockcastle (NRP) has announced that it is buying Silesia City Centre, an 88k sqm GLA shopping centre in Katowice, Poland. The sellers are Allianz Finance VII Luxembourg S.A. (45%), Kamsa Luxco 2 S.à r.l. (45%) and Cura Beteiligungsgesellschaft International m.b.H. (10%). At EUR 405m, the price implies a 7.1% yield on the in-place rental income, and EUR 4.6k per sqm. The centre seems like a good addition to NRP's EUR 7.4bn portfolio. In our view, the deal fits well into NRP’s strategy of acq...

PZU has published its 2025-27E strategic outlook. The key takeaway for shareholders, in our view, is the target of at least PLN 6.2bn of net profit in 2027E, with a minimum 2027E DPS of PLN 4.5. In the strategic presentation, significant focus has been put on revenue growth engines, and each of the key revenue pillars is explained separately. Also important for the market is that the insurer may sell its c.32% stake in Alior Bank to its other subsidiary, Bank Pekao, in 1H25E. The banks are to in...

Pegasus’ reported results missed our estimates, but were broadly in line with the consensus collected by the company. The EBIT, a proxy for earnings (as it is unaffected by the non-cash FX gains and losses), was 5% lower yoy in 3Q24. Revenues were up by 13% yoy, driven by 9% ASK growth and a 4% stronger RASK. This was offset by the steep increase in costs. The ex-fuel cask (CASKX) was up 22%, driven chiefly by growth in personnel costs. This was alleviated partly by the fuel CASK, which was down...
