Stanbic Holdings Plc 1H18 Earnings Update

Stanbic Holdings Plc (NSE: CFC) released 1H18 financial results reporting a 104.5% increase in EPS to KES 8.99 from KES 4.39 in 1H17. The increase was buoyed by Non-interest Revenue (NIR) that grew 34.0% y/y to KES 5.57Bn, coupled with Net Interest Income (NII) that grew 11.9% y/y to KES 5.61Bn. Operating expenses grew 11.4% y/y while credit impairment charges declined 86.1% y/y to KES 0.25Bn. The balance sheet grew 19.0% y/y driven primarily by the loan book which rose 15.4% y/y (7.5% h/h) as the bank continued to lend, amidst the tightening of price controls. An interim dividend of KES 2.25 was declared, representing an 80.0% increase from 1H17 (KES 1.25), with book closure slated for 10th September. We maintain our HOLD recommendation on Stanbic Holdings at a target price of KES 91.16. This represents a downside potential of 7.0% from the current market price of KES 98.00.
