Liquidity is paramount. The dividends should have been paused earlier, but better late than never. Management's clearly stated focus on prioritising the addressing of maturities is encouraging. All rides on a successful refinancing and or sizeable disposals, which could remove the immediate tail risk. That said, even then, the equity looks fully valued, unless the post-deal FFO proves to be markedly stronger than the current trajectory suggests.

OTP’s reported net income came to HUF 189bn in Q1/25, beating the consensus estimate of HUF 184bn by 3% due to better-than-expect total income. 2025 guidance has been left fully unchanged by the management, but the current consensus may not reflect the full potential for 2025. Our 2025 net profit estimate is 9% above the consensus. We roll over to Jun-26 and raise our TP by HUF 30,955, implying a 26% total return upside potential including the dividends after 2024 (c. HUF 1000 adj. for treasury...

TBC has reported 1Q25 net income of GEL 318m, falling 14% short of our estimate (GEL 372m) and 10% below the consensus forecast of GEL 352m. Total revenues missed our estimate by 5%. There was a small GEL 11m NII miss that was mitigated by a GEL 8m beat in fees. Trading and other income was 25% below expectations; however, this line is typically volatile. The more material and complex deviation was in provisions, which came in at GEL 118m vs. our GEL 83m expectation. The miss was related to a GE...

We like how OTP has diversified its presence from Hungary towards the euro area over the last decade. However, 60% of assets are still “contaminated” with heightened geopolitical and state intervention risks limiting further upside potential from the undoubtedly strong fundamentals and above-average ROE following the re-rating since late 2022. While M&A opportunities appear scarce, the impending trade war could distort growth ambitions going forward. We downgrade our rating to Neutral vs Outperf...
