We have upgraded TBC Bank to BUY (from Hold), with a new price target (PT) of GBP 47.9/share (vs. GBP 53.1/share previously). Despite the rough patch and lower visibility in Uzbekistan, we see the group’s market value as largely supported by the Georgian business alone, on both an intrinsic and relative basis. The group is trading at 5.7x P/E and 1.4x P/TBV on our 2025E estimates vs. 6.8x P/E and 1.7x P/TBV at our target.

The Romanian BET and Polish WIG 20 were also in the green (+1.3% and +1.0% mom in EUR terms). The only loser was the Turkish ISE 30 (-2.0% mom in EUR terms).
The macro backdrop entering 2026E remains broadly supportive for high-dividend strategies across Emerging Europe and the frontier markets, but the opportunity set has clearly narrowed. After a year of sharp repricing across the WOOD universe, the high dividend conditions of 2024-25 have largely disappeared, as a result of many sectors rerating materially. As a result, high-dividend exposure is no longer a broad regional trade: the most compelling opportunities are now concentrated. However, the ...

TBC has reported 3Q25 net income of GEL 368m, 5% above our estimate and broadly in line with the consensus, Compared to our forecasts, lower costs and provisions made up for the somewhat weaker than expected core revenues (1% lower NII and 7% lower fees vs. our forecasts). Management acknowledged that the full-year earnings may fall slightly below the GEL 1.5bn guidance, due to slower momentum in Uzbekistan, where regulatory-driven loan book rebalancing and elevated levels of COR continue. In Ge...

We have downgraded Lion Finance Group (BGEO) to HOLD, with a new price target (PT) of GBP 79.4. BGEO trades at 5.8x 2025E P/E and 1.5x P/TBV, which we see as fair, following a 114% USD return over the last 12M, and 566% over the past three years. After such a good earnings cycle, which leveraged on a superb macro backdrop, we see limited upside risk on our EPS forecasts and assumptions for the group’s long-term earnings power (ROTEs of 27% for Georgia and 22% for Armenia). We calculate that most...
