Greece's Alpha Bank raises full-year guidance
ATHENS, Aug 2 (Reuters) -Alpha Bank, Greece's fourth-largest lender by market value, raised its full-year profit guidance on Friday after a 22.6% jump in first-half net profit.
The group now expects earnings per share of 0.33 euros ($0.3562), up from the previous projection of 0.31 euros, it said.
Net profit was 437 million euros for the six months to June 30, up from 356.6 million euros in the same period last year, on the back of increased interest, fees and commission.
"In the first half of 2024, we have managed to progress our strategy swiftly, meeting several targets ahead of plan," said Chief Executive Vassilios Psaltis.
Greek lenders are recovering after three recapitalisations that led to their effective nationalisation in the wake of a deep financial crisis.
After cutting bad loan ratios and reducing state participation, they received the green light from the European Central Bank this year to pay out dividends for the first time since 2007.
"We can now look forward to a future of higher recurring profitability," Psaltis added.
