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. The NII and NFC were below expectations, but offset partially by a better other income delivery. 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...

We see this news as outright negative, which could halt the robust share price performance of the Polish banks, for some time at least. One aspect is the direct financial impact of the proposed tax regime change for the sector, and another is that such a change could reduce trust in the stability of the operating backdrop of banking (and other sectors, potentially) in Poland. This could result in international investors applying a higher market risk premium to the Polish market, going forward, i...

We keep our BUY on NLB Group (NLB), upping our price target (PT) to EUR 199.9/share (from EUR 176.0), offering c.20% upside. Due to the ECB’s interest rate cuts and high costs, we expect 2025E to continue to be somewhat challenging, with the bottom line compressing by 6%. This should, however, be the trough and, going forward, we expect positive jaws and bottom-line expansion from mid-to-high single digits in 2026-28E. Despite the 31.5% ytd rally, we still see NLB’s valuation as attractive, bein...
