Key Points

Positve
  • National Bank of Greece SA (NBGPRA.PFD) reported a solid core profit after tax of $1.3 billion in 2024, up by 10% year on year.
  • The bank's core return on tangible equity reached 17.5%, exceeding the guidance of over 16%.
  • Net interest income (NII) and net interest margin (NIM) showed resilience to normalizing rates, with a net loan expansion of 3.1 billion euros.
  • The bank's fee business recorded double-digit growth, with investment product cross-selling increasing fees by nearly 50%.
  • The capital position was further strengthened, with a CET1 ratio more than 400 basis points above the internal target, providing strategic flexibility for shareholder remuneration.
Negative
  • The bank faces potential downside risks from geopolitical tensions and a possible recession in Europe, which could impact the 60% payout ratio.
  • There is uncertainty regarding the impact of AI and digitalization on cost savings, as these are not yet credibly measurable.
  • The bank's cost of risk is expected to normalize to below 40 basis points, but there is still room for further improvement.
  • The bank's strategy against dropping rates includes a potential reduction in NII by about 180 to 200 million euros, which could affect profitability.
  • The bank's ambitious IT and digital transformation plan has led to higher operating expenses, which need to be tightly managed.
