We keep OTP Bank as a BUY, with an increased 12M price target (PT) of HUF 34,877/share, offering 16% upside. We appreciate its strong results delivery and we expect this to continue. We forecast a 2025E ROE of short of 21% (excluding the Russian operations, 18%+). Our current forecasts, based purely on organic growth, imply upside vs. the current consensus estimates. However, if this was OTP’s only story, we would see its current valuation as offering too little upside to guarantee an outright p...

Banca Transilvania (TLV) reported its 2Q25 results this morning (26 August), posting shareholder net profit of RON 1,087m (+10% yoy), a small (4%) miss vs. our expectations.

Costs were in line, and the provisions booked were the major source of the delta, but were also offset partially by the lower net profit attributable to minorities. All-in-all, we view the results as slightly negative, due to the...
