UNCRY - UniCredit stock rallies after CEO expects year guidance to 'substantially' improve
- UniCredit ( OTCPK:UNCFF ) ( OTCPK:UNCRY ) shares climbed 5.7% in late Thursday morning U.S. trading after the Italian bank's CEO said he sees 2022 guidance improving "substantially" as rising interest rates offset any slump in fee income.
- The lender will upgrade its full-year guidance when it reveals third-quarter earnings, Andrea Orcel said at a Bank of America conference in London, adding that he feels good about 2023 "given the lines of defense and momentum we have."
- Orcel pointed to the firm's robust commercial momentum spurred by an industrial transformation. It had enough provisions to absorb loan losses, as well as a high quality loan book, he added.
- Earlier this week, (Sep. 21) UniCredit launches second share buyback for up to €1B.
