FINANCIALS

DBRS upgrades Banco BPM's LT issuer outlook to positive, confirms BBB LT rating. Spreads and equity have already moved meaningfully YTD after S&P and Moody’s actions in Nov-23.


  • Release cites profitability improvements from rate-related revenue growth, good cost control and solid risk performances.
  • Moody’s double-upgraded the issuer in Nov-23 (to Baa2 from Ba1) and S&P resumed coverage in the same month, too.
  • The equity is up 31% YTD (vs. SX7P +18%) and spreads are around 50bp tighter on average (€IG banks 30bp tighter) though over the last month, has moved 7-8bp wider again (€IG banks +5.9bp), so a strong performer already.
