We take a look at how banks are positioned to meet the expected increase in capital requirements. For our bank universe the total regulatory capital requirement is set to increase some 30bp on average this year, with the bulk already as of 1 January, and the highest increase is set for c.140bp. We consider most banks are well positioned to absorb the impact. We would remain most comfortable taking more risk in the liability structure in banks with stronger MDA headroom such as in Crédit Agricole...

Technical analysis reveals a strong conviction since early March, and this should continue. We prefer banks in southern Europe, where the macro outlook is brighter. Alongside CaixaBank, which we are maintaining in our list of European Large Cap stocks, we ...

>What are the main lessons from Q4/FY 2023 earnings? - Q4 earnings release have confirmed our view on the sector detailed early December. We expected net interest income to be this year relatively flattish in Italy and Spain, to decrease on some names in the Benelux (ING) and to increase for French banks, which is consistent with 2024 outlook given by banks. We therefore did not play a country rotation in favour of North European banks vs South European banks, and we ...

>Rating lifted to Neutral (vs Underperform) – Target price lifted to € 1.5 (vs € 1.4) - We are lifting our rating to Neutral (vs Underperform) on the stock, in order to integrate a less conservative bias on the operating front (notably CoR) as well as a less strained valuation level (12% decline in the share price since early December / sell-off of peripheral banks in view of the end of positive NII momentum). Q3 2023 looks robust once again (operating front, asset q...
