What believers are saying

  • Romanian unit sale closes Q4 2026, adding over €100 million to net income.
  • Management reaffirmed 2026 guidance, expecting margin recovery in Q4 and lower capital strain.

What critics are saying

  • Q2 2026 earnings missed estimates 16%, signaling weaker profitability momentum.
  • Cost of risk sits near 2.5%, squeezing lending spreads and loan growth.
