Goldman Sachs downgrades Intesa-Sanpaolo stock to Neutral on limited upside

Investing.com - Goldman Sachs downgraded Intesa-Sanpaolo SpA (BIT:ISP) (OTC:ISNPY) stock rating to Neutral from Buy, while lowering its price target to EUR6.00 from EUR6.10. The banking giant, currently valued at $111.28 billion, trades at a P/E ratio of 10.66 and offers a substantial 4.38% dividend yield.

The Italian banking giant has seen its share price increase approximately 166% since being added to Goldman’s Buy List on May 27, 2022, outperforming the broader European banks index (SX7P), which rose 122% during the same period. The stock’s strong momentum continues in 2023, with a remarkable 62.48% year-to-date return. According to InvestingPro, the company maintains a GOOD financial health score, suggesting solid fundamentals.

Goldman Sachs noted that Intesa-Sanpaolo has been a key beneficiary of the interest rate hiking cycle that has boosted profitability across the banking sector.

Despite expectations that Intesa will continue to improve profitability and deliver strong shareholder returns, the investment bank sees few re-rating catalysts over the medium term.

Goldman Sachs cited limited upside to consensus net profit estimates and believes the current operating environment is already reflected in Intesa-Sanpaolo’s valuation levels.
