Secure Trust Bank - Asset growth set to flow through to earnings
FY17 was a further year of change for Secure Trust Bank (STB) as management completed the shift away from unsecured consumer loans and reduced the risk profile in motor finance. This restricted near-term profits but the pace of loan book growth has remained strong and looks set to feed into substantial earnings growth as the cost of risk subsides, more than offsetting the lower returns earned on lower risk lending. The shares have begun to respond to this prospect following the results, but the valuation suggests further upside.Secure Trust Bank is involved in banking and financial services. Co.'s segments are: real estate finance, which include residential and commercial investment and development loans; asset finance, which include loans to small and medium sized enterprises; commercial finance, which include invoice discounting and invoice factoring; personal lending, which include unsecured consumer loans; motor finance, which include hire purchase agreements; retail finance, which include point of sale unsecured finance; and residential mortgages, which is for the self-employed, contract workers. As of Dec 31 2017, Co. had total assets of £1.89 billion and total customers deposits of £1.48 billion.
