OTE has reported an uninspiring set of 2Q25 results, with sales flat yoy, at EUR 913m (in line with our forecast) and the adjusted EBITDA up 1% yoy, to EUR 349m (in line with our estimate), due to Greek segment expansion offsetting the 67% yoy decline in the Romanian segment operating result. We see OTE’s 2Q25 results as neutral, as the adjusted EBITDA was in line with our expectations, while the company reiterated its 2025E outlook. The miss on the bottom line was driven primarily by the write-...
OTE has reported a mixed set of results; Greek MSR trends are much better sequentially and FSR growth is also a bit better, but EBITDA growth is actually slower sequentially due to elevated sales and marketing costs, which may be a warning sign of the future impact from PPC in the fixed market.

Following the AGM‘s approval on 25 April, Banca Transilvania (TLV) increased its share capital by RON 1,734,423,790 by issuing 173,442,379 new shares at a nominal value of RON 10/share on 18 July. The increase was carried out through the capitalisation of reserves from the 2024 net profit. Therefore, we have adjusted our 12M price target (PT) of RON 40.16/share for TLV to RON 33.77/share. There are no changes in our earnings estimates or valuation for the company.
European bank stress tests show that most banks remain resilient in a more stressed environment. We find that only three banks could need additional capital in the adverse scenario as compared to the leverage-based requirements. While all banks could likely continue to meet their minimum SREP CET1 capital requirements, we find that nine banks could hit their MDA restrictions unless some of the capital buffer requirements were to be released in stress.

EME Equity Market – July 2025 EME indices all in the green in July. The MSCI EM Europe Index advanced by 6.0% mom in EUR terms and 3.0% in USD terms. The Turkish ISE30 was, once again, the top performer, adding 7.9% mom in EUR terms, followed very closely by the Romanian BET, advancing 7.8% mom in EUR terms. The Greek ASE added 6.8% mom in EUR terms, while the Czech PX added 4.5% mom in EUR terms. The Hungarian BUX and Polish WIG20 added 3.6% and 3.0% mom, respectively, in EUR terms.
We are resuming coverage of Romanian banks with an Outperform rating and a TP of RON 32.3 on Banca Transilvania (TLV) and a Neutral stance with a TP of RON 20.3 on BRD. We believe that current market prices largely factor in the downside risks of the upcoming fiscal consolidation package even beyond 2026. Despite BRD's increasing appetite for growth, we favour TLV due to its effective growth through its M&A strategy, higher long-term ROE potential and more attractive valuation metrics.
