BOP_9MCY20 Result Review - (Inline), (AKD, Off the Analyst's Desk, Oct 28, 2020)

BOP: 9MCY20 Result Review  -  (Inline)

 

·         The Bank of Punjab (BOP) announced its 9MCY20 results today where the bank reported earnings of PkR5.8bn (EPS: PkR2.17) as against PkR6.1bn (EPS: PkR2.33) in the same period last year. The result came in line with our expectations.

·         For 3QCY20, the bank recorded an EPS of PkR0.81, flat QoQ/YoY.

·         Gross yield improved marginally by 3.6ppt QoQ to 28.5%, where we believe high yielding bonds to have overshadowed repricing of loans and higher composition of fixed cost deposits delayed impact of lower interest rates.

·         Bank continues to depend on capital gains to spur its non-funded income, recording PkR3.5bn in gains in 3QCY20 - a scale similar to previous quarter. Total non-funded contribution in total income remains ~46%.

·          Cost to income ratio jumps to 41.4% in 3QCY20 vs. 38.7% in the previous quarter.
