BGC PARTNERS - 1Q18 VAKIFBANK IN LINE

TL1,051mn NI was in-line w/previously revealed tax financials as trading income and fees came in higher, offset by similarly higher-than-forecast operating expenses and provisions. We think that the overall performance of VAKBN remained solid in 1Q18, with strong volume growth and fee income being offset by relatively weaker NIM, cost growth, and net NPL formation, helping the bank achieve an ROAE of 17%. While the multiples of 0.5x 2018E P/B and 3.3x 2018E P/E are clearly attractive, we maintain our HOLD recommendation, for the time being, as we are worried on the need for additional provisioning going forward, given the low starting level of stage-2 book.
