We update estimates post 2Q26 and reiterate our Overweight
rating.
Additional color on 2Q26 not included in 2Q26 First Take: in-line results
• Eurobank was the only Greek bank that significantly upgraded the loan
growth target in 2026 (+18%)
• Assets grew by €5bn QoQ, thanks to €4bn higher deposits and higher debt

and c€3bn higher intrabank. Loan to deposit ratio declined by c2pp QoQ,
driven by Greece, as international remained stable. This means more room to
boost NII in 2H26-2028, as EUROB can deploy liquidity at higher margins and
still leverage on the low LDR in Cyprus.
• EUROB grew deposits the most in Greece (+7% QoQ), but loans increased
