Despite NII headwinds, the NIM held firm at 2.74%, driven by low deposit betas (17% of the overall deposit base), resilient lending spreads (-12 bps ytd), incremental yields from reinvested bond portfolios, and strong credit growth...

Metlen Energy & Metals - Strengthening operating margin in H1
Metlen Energy & Metals achieved a record H1 EBITDA of €474m in 2024 (vs €437m in H123), while also increasing its operating margin by 169bp to 19.1% (17.4% at H123).

This morning’s (25 July) 1H24 results announcement should serve as a glimpse of a much-improved future, in our view, in that Metlen managed to counterbalance the sharp drop in energy prices during the period and increased its profitability. We also note that, as 2Q24 evolved, the prices for aluminium and, particularly, alumina increased significantly; while, at the same time, the wholesale electricity prices in Greece also moved markedly higher, reaching 18-month highs in July, owing to the coun...
