Budimex: growth acceleration on the horizon (upgraded to BUY)
We are upgrading Budimex (BDX) to BUY, from Hold. Our new 12M price target (PT) of PLN 750 (vs. PLN 730 previously) offers 20% potential upside. Having reduced our 2025E forecasts by several percents, we highlight the problem of the delays seen in the market in 2024, rather than the long-term investment pipeline, which remains strong. This is also supported by the announced acceleration in military investments. After taking a pause this year (limited single-digit growth), we expect 2026-27E to m...

GEVORKYAN has reported strong 1Q25 results, which exceeded our expectations, with EBITDA of EUR 8.4m, 15% above our estimate, and net profit of EUR 3.0m, double our forecast. The company achieved a record-high EBITDA margin of 40%, reflecting efficiency gains in lower costs of materials and energy. Despite the strong start to the year, GEVORKYAN maintained a conservative outlook, guiding for 2025E revenue growth of 9% yoy and an EBITDA margin of c.32%. In our view, this is cautious, particularly...

EME Macro/Strategy: macro all-in-one (12-18 May)
The results from the Presidential elections in Romania indicates a win for pro-EU candidate, Nicușor Dan, while Rafał Trzaskowski, also a pro-EU candidate, is ahead in Poland after the first round. The remaining 1Q25 real GDP releases across CEE showed stagnation in Romania, while Poland maintained solid growth. The NBR kept its policy rate unchanged on the eve of the election, but tightened liquidity conditions. In Hungary, budget execution worsened over the first four months of the year, promp...

InPost: international level (stays BUY)
We maintain our BUY on InPost, with our price target (PT) upped to EUR 18.5/share (from EUR 13.3). Over the past three months, InPost’s share price has dropped by 14%, 20ppts below the WIG20 index, folding under the pressure of the negative PR from Allegro and the continuing weakness of the Polish consumer. We see the continuation of the cooperation between Poland’s leading marketplace and logistics operator as serving the best interests of both. We assume that the parties will meet midway, and ...

We have downgraded our rating on VIGO Photonics to HOLD (from Buy) and set our price target (PT) at PLN 584/share, implying 10% upside potential. We see VIGO, with its unique technology, applicable to military products, as the best exposure to the global defence spending surge among the relevant Polish stocks, especially in the face of the recently-signed agreement with the Polish army for the delivery of infrared arrays. However, due to the growing dependence of VIGO’s equity story on new initi...

WOOD Flash – Gentoo Media: 1Q25 financial results review – miss on rev...
Gentoo Media reported its 1Q25 financial results this morning (14 May), which were significantly below our estimates. According to the company, the 1Q25 results were affected by market headwinds in Brazil and a shift away from lower-value activities. The company expects growth to resume in 2H25E, with the 2025E revenue to be broadly in line with the 2024 levels and an EBITDA margin of 40-45%. During the 2024 conference call, the company was expecting double-digit revenue growth; while we expect ...

OTE has reported an uninspiring set of 1Q25 results, with both the sales and adjusted EBITDA flat yoy, at EUR 879m (2% above our forecast) and EUR 350m (in line with our estimate), respectively, due to the Greek segment expansion offsetting the 51% yoy decline in the Romanian segment operating result. We see OTE’s 1Q25 results as neutral, as the adjusted EBITDA is in line with our expectations, while the 2025E outlook has been reiterated by the company.

Graphisoft Park has booked a steady stream of recurring income, with the FFO at around EUR 4m in 1Q25, double-digit growth yoy and ahead of our estimate. The bottom line was affected negatively by a small revaluation loss (EUR 7m, or c.3% of the value of the portfolio). We are not very troubled by the effect on the book value, but we do share concerns regarding the risk premium that investors may apply for Hungarian assets, the low investment liquidity (suggesting a lack of buyers), and the heav...

WOOD Flash – Aquila Part Prod Com S.A.: strong 1Q25 gross profit margi...
During yesterday’s (13 May) 1Q25 earnings call, Aquila noted that the increase in the wholesale gross margins – 22.15% this quarter, vs 20.48% for FY24 ؘ– should be sustainable in FY25E. The margin was driven primarily by the sales mix – especially higher sales in the HoReCa, travel retail and traditional retail channels – and supported by recent M&A (Romtec and Parmafood). We had expected sales in those channels to accelerate as we go through 2025E, but the uplift in the wholesale gross margin ...

Optima Bank: a touch of Midas, none of Icarus (BUY - initiation of cov...
We initiate coverage of Optima Bank (Optima) with a BUY and a 12M price target (PT) of EUR 18.5 (16.4% upside). Optima Bank is a small, emerging bank, financing corporates, almost exclusively, with a focus on SMEs. We believe that, despite the RRF loans and growing competition in the segment, Greek SMEs still lack adequate access to financing and, therefore, the demand for SME financing through traditional channels is likely to remain strong in the years to come. In this case, the opportunity fo...

WOOD Flash – Bank of Cyprus: 1Q25 results highlights
Bank of Cyprus (BOCH) has posted EUR 117m in net income in 1Q25. This was 8% above our EUR108mn estimate, due mainly to the beat on other income. The bank does not guide quarterly, and there was no consensus estimate for the quarter. Overall, the quarter is not a game changer, but confirms our thesis (for further details, please see our recent report). BOCH has delivered an 18% ROTE, and we foresee its earnings power at a 17% ROTE when we normalise its CET1 to 15%. The bank did well on the volum...

EME Macro/Strategy: macro all-in-one (5-11 May)
Last week, the domestic tensions following the first round of the Romanian presidential elections heightened, and the polls are showing that the second round will remain a tight race, with Simion losing some support, but maintaining the lead. Tensions also remain high in Türkiye, and weekly interest rates on deposits and loans maintain their upward trajectory. Monetary Councils convened in CEE, with the CNB cutting by 25bps and the NBP delivering a 50bps cut, following President Glapinski’s dovi...
