STOCK FOCUS OF THE DAY
Malayan Banking: Upticks in impaired domestic consumer, business loans HOLD
We maintain our HOLD call on Malayan Banking (Maybank) with an unchanged FV of RM11.0/share. This is based on an ROE of 11.4%, leading to a FY19 P/BV of 1.5x. No changes to our estimates. 1QFY18 core earnings of RM1.87bil (-3.9%QoQ, +9.9%YoY) were within expectations, accounting for 22.9% of our and 22.8% of consensus estimates respectively.
On a year-on year basis, the group’s earnings growth was supported by higher Islamic banking income and non-interest income (NOII), largely due to higher net earned insurance premiums (from life and family insurance) and lower provisions for loan losses, partially offset by higher taxes. The group’s capital ratios remained healthy with a fully-loaded CET1 and total capital ratio of 13.73% and 18.48% respectively as at end-1QFY18.
