We keep our constructive view on the Polish banks. We admit that the upside we see is far less than the share price performance last year (WIG Bank index up 119% in the LTM). However, we cannot ignore the single-digit P/Es (our sector median 2024E P/E at 8.3x), in combination with the falling cost of equity, which is, in part, the result of improved sentiment in the country and improving growth expectations. All this is topped up with generous dividend payments this year. The solid earnings outl...

The 75bps cut in the reference rate by the NBP yesterday (6 September) came as a surprise, vs. the market’s expectations of a 25bps cut. In this comment, we present our current model assumptions for the Polish banks and the ytd delivery on the NII front. While we have not provided for as deep a rate cut as this in our 2023E forecasts, we highlight that our 2023-25E forecasts provide for a cumulative rate cut to the tune of 250-275bps over the next three years. We expect the benchmark rate to lan...
