N/A analyst Fabrizio Bernardi maintained a Buy rating on Banca Sistema S.p.A. (0R9H – Research Report) on February 11 and set a price target of €2.60.
Fabrizio Bernardi has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that point towards Banca Sistema’s positive financial trajectory. The bank’s recent quarterly results highlighted a significant increase in net profit, primarily driven by the strong performance of its Factoring segment and a favorable European Court of Human Rights ruling that led to the release of a substantial provision. This ruling is expected to result in potential payments from the Italian government, which could further enhance the bank’s profitability.
Bernardi’s analysis also considers the upward revisions in revenue projections for Banca Sistema, particularly in its Factoring and Pawn Broking businesses, which are anticipated to contribute to sustained growth. The bank is positioned well against the current macroeconomic backdrop, and the favorable ruling provides an additional layer of financial security. The stock’s valuation, with its trading multiples expected to improve as the bank executes its growth strategy, supports the Buy recommendation with a target price of €2.60.
