TPI Composites files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, plans delisting from Nasdaq
Investing.com - Kepler Cheuvreux has upgraded Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG (ETR:PBB) from Reduce to Hold and raised its price target to EUR5.30 from EUR4.40.
The upgrade follows Deutsche Pfandbriefbank’s announcement that it plans to exit the U.S. market over the next 6-12 months. This strategic shift comes after mark-to-market revaluation of assets resulted in EUR314 million of risk costs in the second quarter.
Kepler Cheuvreux expects Deutsche Pfandbriefbank to report a net loss of nearly EUR200 million in 2025. Despite these challenges, the bank reported only a 40 basis point negative impact on its CET1 ratio, which stood at 15.3% in Q2.
This capital ratio falls below the bank’s target of above 15.5% for 2027 but remains above management’s through-the-cycle ambition level of at least 14%. The bank has not yet provided an outlook or reached a decision regarding dividends or share buybacks.
Kepler Cheuvreux now sees a balanced risk/reward profile for Deutsche Pfandbriefbank, basing its valuation on the 14% CET1 ratio through-the-cycle ambition rather than the previous 2027 target of above 15.5%.
