We maintain our BUY rating for LPP, with a new 12M price target (PT) of PLN 20,842/share. Its image of superior corporate governance has been challenged with accusations of continued operations in Russia. In our view, while the management has proven the discontinuation of legal or personal links to its former operations, the damage has been done, especially in transparency. Despite declarations that all direct sales to Russia were suspended in 2Q22, LPP maintains indirect supplies to ReTrading. ...

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...
