Investor feedback: market reaction appears driven by positioning rather

than fundamentals

CITI'S TAKE Buy

Price (28 Jul 26 17:30) €13.20 Based on our investor conversations on CABK following today's results

Target price €14.00 conference call, the share price weakness (down c.-6% today) appears to

be driven more by positioning and expectations than by any deterioration Expected share price return 6.1%

in underlying fundamentals. Investors generally acknowledged that the Expected dividend yield 4.5%

modest NII miss was largely technical in nature, while underlying trends Expected total return 10.5%

around loan growth and margins, and tailwinds from higher interest rates Market Cap €92,082M

remain intact. In some cases, investor expectations may have been US$104,854M

anchored to NII scenarios above current sell-side consensus, reflecting a

more supportive forward rate environment. As a result, the absence of an

upgrade in NII guidance may have triggered a reassessment of these

upside earnings scenarios. Borja Ramirez SeguraAC
