Gránit report 3Q25
- Granit Bank’s (“Granit”, “the bank”) group-level profit after tax came in above our expectations in the first nine
months of 2025 (forecast: 10.5Bn; actual: 13.7Bn; +30% beat). - Total assets grew 11% y/y to 1 702Bn at the end of the third quarter (3Q25), and by the end of 3Q25 the bank had
already exceeded our FY25 balance sheet forecast by 8%. Growth was supported by the nearly 48Bn capital raise in
4Q24, including the 17.7Bn IPO. Deployment of the raised capital is ongoing, providing a base for long-term growth. - Adjusted Return on Equity (ROE) fell to 15.1% in the first nine months (9M25), versus 31.1% in the same period
last year, mainly due to the higher equity base, which negatively affected the ratio. - In line with plans, the bank intends to start paying dividends no earlier than after the 2026 financial year.
Dividends will be capped at 25% of earned profit. - The growth trajectory continues to match our expectations, supporting the fundamental value we previously set.
The current 1.78x P/B (share price: 14 450 on 30/09/2025; book value per share: 8,115 on 30/09/2025) is in line with
traditional commercial bank valuations, which in our view undervalues Granit Bank’s fintech-style business model,
typically priced above the banking sector. Given the positive outlook, we maintain our Buy recommendation with
a target price of 18 306.
