Not joining in the rally today

 

  • For us it is one of the best stories out there in financials and definitely in Italy
  • Get periphery exposure but in a liquid name
  • Good numbers on 5 Aug beating expectations and due upgrades. We think around 10%
  • Capital is good and improving. Added 90bps Q-Q. NPLs moving the right way. Loan losses in non core halved YoY
  • Trades on 0.7 BV
  • Underperformed ISP by 17% this year and trades cheaper on various multiples
  • Happy buying it outright here or against ISP
