Italian lenders, caught in the eye of the country’s political tempest, have come to be a “difficult investment,” according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, among those to downgrade stocks in the sector.
Multiple risks ranging from wider sovereign-bond spreads to potential difficulties in selling non-performing loans are eating into positive sentiment spurred by improvements seen in past months, analysts said.
The FTSE Italia All-Share Banks Index has fallen 21 percent since reaching this year’s high on April 24. Banco BPM SpA, Banca Generali SpA and Unione di Banche Italiane SpA are among lenders to have dropped more than 20 percent in the same period.
The sharp declines have led some to suggest that the latest jolt to European political stability presents an opportunity to snap up Italian banking shares, many of which had resurfaced from years of underperformance. UniCredit SpA Chief Executive Officer Jean Pierre Mustier sought to calm markets on Tuesday telling Bloomberg TV that the sell-off is driven by fears that aren’t justified by Italian economic performance or the lenders themselves.
