We maintain our BUY rating on Wirtualna Polska (WPL) and lift our 12M price target (PT) to PLN 133.2/share (from PLN 131.5), implying c.44% upside. WPL’s share price has declined 22% ytd, due mainly to the Media segment’s growth stalling, even despite the relatively solid market environment. It seems that, finally, the group’s management has recognised the reasons behind the issues, and has implemented a series of initiatives aimed at boosting the growth and profitability of the segment, includi...
The lower supply pressure and turning interest rate cycle have helped CEE bank bonds outperform this year, particularly in the unsecured segment. The relative value metrics of CEE bank bonds remain enticing though versus European comparables, from a bank fundamental and instrument rating angle. We expect to see a further outperformance of CEE names.

In line with our expectations, Sphera has reported another strong set of results for 2Q24. While the sales growth decelerated to 4% yoy, the costs remained under control, driving EBITDA expansion of 36% yoy, both spot on our forecasts. On the bottom line, Sphera delivered 59% yoy growth, 8ppts below our expectations, due to slight growth in the D&A and the effective tax rate. Following the publication of the results, Sphera organised a conference call, during which, besides the 2Q24 walkthrough,...

We keep MONETA Money Bank as a HOLD, and set our 12M price target (PT) at CZK 116.2/share (up from CZK 90.1/share). We consider MONETA a solid dividend payer, and its 9%+ yield is responsible for the majority of the return that we see for investors in the next 12 months. Its high single-digit dividend yield remains the key investment angle for us and a reason we remain HOLDers of the bank, amid its relatively high valuation vs. its regional banking peers. The growth strategy guided by management...
We keep Komercni Banka as a BUY, and we set our updated 12M price target (PT) at CZK 959/share, 26% upside. We see the c.11% annual dividend yield, persisting over the next two years, as the key attraction, which limits the downside, at the same time, in this volatile market environment. On top of this, we see our current 2024E forecasts as being on the conservative side and yielding some upside risk, if management delivers on its 2024E guidance, especially with respect to the NII turnaround. De...

Benchmark refining margins rose in July, by USD 0.7/bbl, to USD 9.5/bbl, after four straight months of decline remaining about USD 1.9/bbl higher than usual for the season. Better petrol cracks were the main driver of margins and we believe that this may be temporary. Petrochemicals margins remain under pressure.
