What the Analysts think about BGEO
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Lion Finance Group Plc stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Lion Finance reported strong Q1 2025 results, with profit before one-off items up 39.0% year-on-year to GEL 513.1 million and a return on average equity (ROAE) of 28.7%. The loan portfolio rose 23.2% to GEL 34.14 billion, showing solid expansion across Georgian and Armenian operations (Reuters).
Digital adoption remains strong: Bank of Georgia’s retail mobile users reached 1.6 million (up 17.1% yoy), and Ameriabank’s digital MAU reached 245,000 (up 53.1% yoy), supporting the fact that now 85% of loans and 74% of deposits are sold online (Reuters).
The group reiterated its focus on shareholder value by extending its GEL 108 million buyback program on February 25, 2025, and repurchasing an additional 5,000 shares on May 19, 2025, reflecting confidence in ongoing capital generation and alignment with shareholder interests (Reuters).
In Q1 2025, Lion Finance’s net interest margin dropped by 0.6 percentage points year-on-year to 5.7%, indicating pressure on lending spreads from a larger allocation to lower-yielding liquid assets in its portfolio (Reuters).
Group operating expenses skyrocketed 82.4% year-on-year to GEL 342.9 million in Q1 2025, fueled by the consolidation of Ameriabank and an 18.2% increase at GFS, attributed partially to executive termination costs and initial payments to Georgia’s deposit resolution fund, weighing on profitability (Reuters).
On April 16, 2025, Georgia’s parliament passed a contentious law requiring state authorization for foreign grants to local entities, sparking EU criticism and adding to political risk fears that could discourage international investment in Lion Finance’s key Georgian market (Reuters).
