Assessment by Bankinter’s research team: Slightly better-than-estimated results in cash flow, although guidance remains unchanged for 2024. Thursday’s results had a slightly positive impact on the share price, which closed with slight gains in a session of widespread falls on the stock markets.

We reiterate our Buy recommendation. The environment should turn favourable in 2024, with growing demand, still high inflation and possible rate cuts.
