0901 GMT - Commerzbank's net interest income is set to materially accelerate on continued strong loan growth, Deutsche Bank says in a research note. NII seems to have troughed and growth should resume as early as the forth quarter, analysts write. This will be "followed by meaningful expansion driven by its replicating portfolio, loan and deposit volume growth, and fading headwinds from interest rate cuts and a rising deposit beta," they say. The bank gave encouraging yet conservative guidance at its third-quarter results, while posting a positive NII surprise. NII growth should boost profitability and capital returns in the coming years, they say. DB raises its rating on the stock to buy from hold and its target price to 37 euros from 35 euros. Shares rise 4.2%. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
