Deutsche Bank Upgrades Bank of Ireland (IRE) to Buy

May 20, 2009 7:40 AM EDT

Deutsche Bank upgrades Bank of Ireland (NYSE: IRE) to Buy. Price target raised to E2.

Deutsche analyst says, "We expect slower revenues and higher loan losses will see the group lose E2bn over the next two years. However, with the share at 1x pre-provision profit and 2.5x post crisis earnings, and with adequate capital ratios the risks are more than reflected in the share price we believe. Though this stock remains very geared in our view to sentiment and regulatory change (the pricing of NAMA in particular) we see value in buying it here. Target price to E2 from E0.7, Buy."

Bank of Ireland provides a range of banking and other financial services.
