GREEK BANKS | Recharged by results, lifted by M&A
Q1 results spark 6% outperformance in Greek banks, led by Alpha – Q1 results triggered an 6% outperformance of Greek banks vs their EU periphery peers (and 8% vs SX7E), led by Alpha Bank (+27% since 28 Apr), followed by Optima (+22%), NBG (+14%), Piraeus (+13%), and Eurobank (+10%).

Greek Equity Strategy – 2025 outlook | Almost same story, different ye...
Repeat of 2024, with different headwinds – Following a year in which Greek equities performed broadly in line with EU periphery stocks (but better than broad EU indices), 2025 looks somewhat trickier given international headwinds (e.g. tariffs, geopolitics). Easing monetary policy is certainly a positive, in the sense that it could justify higher valuations, but the overriding driver of re-rating would be a resolution of the war in Ukraine, as is the case for the EU as a whole. On the positive s...

Banks' resilience is further supported by improvements in asset quality, stronger fee generation driven by lending activity and a 13% ytd i...

GREEK MARKET PULSE | Autumn Chill
The ATHEX has shed c3% since the start of August, significantly underperforming vs both broader Europe (Stoxx 600 +0.7%) and periphery markets (MIB +2.8%). Performance has been weighed down primarily by banks, which have fallen c7% over the period, compared to a c4% return registered by their EU peers. Non-financials have also stalled, with just a handful of companies in the green since August (mostly from the mid-cap space). Of note is that this move is out of sync with fundamentals, as most co...
