Another significant profit is expected from OTP.
OTP is expected to soon publish its second-quarter interim report, which is likely to show record profits for the quarter. The core business is expected to remain stable, but interest income is likely to continue to grow. It remains to be seen whether operating costs have increased beyond the growth in revenues, and how much risk costs the bank has incurred during the quarter. The management may also update its forecasts for 2026 based on the first-half data.
The OTP’s second-quarter preliminary report is coming out, which is expected to show the bank group’s outstanding quarterly profit again. There are no major changes expected in the core processes, and interest income is likely to continue to increase. However, a major question is whether operating costs have increased more than revenue, and how much risk-related costs the bank has accounted for in the quarter. The OTP management previously gave an outlook for the entire year of 2026. With the figures for the first half of the year, the management can now update its forecast.
