We maintain our BUY on Benefit Systems (BFT). Our new 12-month price target (PT) of PLN 3,400 (up by 26%) offers 23% potential upside.

UST yields ticked higher this week amid a lack of macro data, while EM credit in general performed well. We expect spreads should remain well supported in the current environment but see little scope for valuations to grind much tighter absent a clearer policy shift from central banks or positive geopolitical news.

Bank of Cyprus has announced a decent EUR 138m of net income for 4Q23, which brought the full-year bottom line to EUR 487m. Although some pressures on earnings is starting to emerge, with peaking NIMs in 4Q23, we believe that BOCH’s market valuation (0.5x P/TBV and 2.9x P/E, on our 2024E estimates) is still implying a too abrupt normalisation from the current >20% ROTE levels. Management's mid-teens ROTE guidance for a normalised ECB deposit rate backdrop of 2-2.5% still stands. As long as the r...

A volatile week for EM amid renewed sharp moves in the UST market, although spread levels in general held up relatively well. With focus returning to the US banking sector and uncertainty remaining around the path of the Fed, we expect macro volatility to continue to drive returns for EM credit and should see increased dispersion across names.
