We transfer coverage of Benefit Systems (BFT), maintaining our BUY on the stock. We set our 12-month price target (PT) at PLN 5,000 (from PLN 4,300), 32% potential upside. After solid results in 2025E, we expect BFT to maintain its earnings momentum and deliver an adjusted EBIT CAGR of 18% in 2025-27E. We turn more optimistic on the operations in Türkiye, as we expect the addition of sports cards to accelerate from 2026E-onwards, and the Fitness segment to remain highly profitable. As a result, ...

Over the past year, Sphera’s share price has weathered the macro storm in Romania well, supported by its unique position of being the only consumer name listed locally. At the same time, AmRest has extended its downward move that started in 2024, as investors have kept on questioning the company’s weak earnings momentum and lack of triggers. At its current level of 8x 2026E EBITDA, on our estimates, we see Sphera as fully valued, and we downgrade the name to HOLD (from Buy), with a new price tar...
Last week, monetary policy decisions were announced by the ECB, the CNB and the NBP, with all opting to keep the rates unchanged.

In Hungary, the government hinted at extending the margin caps beyond February, while the gas price cap was extended by another year in Romania. CIS plus inflation showed a mixed picture in January; Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan saw fur...
BRD-GSG is proposing a 50% dividend payout ratio from its 2025 net profit, below the 60% we assumed back in 2025 and implying a c.18% lower DPS for 2025 than we expected (RON 1.11 vs. RON 1.36). At the current price levels, this implies a 3.8% dividend yield. This proposal is subject to approval at the GSM, to be held on 29 April.

Brent crude oil prices have finally stopped falling, bouncing by USD 3.1/bbl in January 2026. In December 2025, a small increase in oil production from OPEC was offset by declines in Russia and Kazakhstan. The WOOD benchmark refining margin rose slightly, but company margins declined. Olefin prices increased, while naphtha prices were stagnant, bringing some respite to petrochemicals.

We keep our positive bias on the Polish banks, although the upside is melting away, with the continuous positive share price performance. The upside left for our median 12M PTs lands at 17%+, just enough to keep our marginally positive stance on the sector. The WIG Banks index has returned c.45%+ in the LTM, mostly a function of a multiples expansion, as the 2025E median EPS change was almost zero in the LTM and the 2026E EPS saw a median cut of 10% in the LTM, driven mostly by the change in the...
