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.
