Standard Bank | Delivering on the Africa strategy

Standard Bank's (SBK) FY â€˜18 results showed 19% YoY growth (26% in constant currency) in the Group's Africa Regions operations (Africa excluding SA). In our view, SBK's Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB), and Personal and Business Banking (PBB) operations in Africa Regions will continue to deliver strong revenue and earnings growth in FY â€˜19f. We expect each major CIB client category (Multinational, Chinese and local corporates) to support the growth. Therefore, SBK stands out compared to other SA banks from a growth and valuation perspective. Please find our analysis and updated forecasts in this note.

Tiger Brands | ESG | Pressed to execute

TBS receives a corporate governance score of 3.37 out of 5 (FY '18: 3.42) and is rated as â€˜good'. TBS receives an ESG risk score of 2.6 (FY '18: 2.6) which we consider moderate. As in FY '18, there were various changes to the Board which raises corporate governance concerns surrounding succession planning and the execution of strategies.

SA Investment Strategy | Review of January 2020 for SA investors: Coronavirus weighs on the ZAR

From an SA asset-allocation perspective, SA Bonds (ALBI +1.2%) outperformed cash (STEFI +0.6%) and equities (Capped SWIX -2.6%) in Jan â€˜20. The ZAR was the worst performing EM currency in Jan â€˜20, depreciating by 6.8% against the USD, as EM risk appetite declined, with the Coronavirus spreading further than the Sars virus, which began in 2002, likely to hit global growth. Our discussions with various corporates in China suggest that the Coronavirus will peak over the coming weeks and could take until Mar '20 to resolve. In USDs, MSCI SA (-8.8%) underperformed MSCI EM (-4.7%) in 2020, as ...

SA Banks | Low credit risk in commercial property | Time to buy SA banks

Challenging SA economic conditions bring SA REITs credit health and banks' lending to the sector into the spotlight. Our analysis in this report provides greater detail on SA banks' exposure to commercial property and listed REITs. Our stress tests highlight that SA banks' lending to listed REITs (exposed to SA or offshore operations) has been conservative to date. REITs' equity capital and diversified portfolios support the property companies' credit health. While SA banks' near-term earnings growth prospects are geared to SA economic conditions, we highlight that valuations are undemandin...
