ABSA | Set to deliver growth despite SA constraints

ABSA's (ABG) H1 '19 results showed positive cost containment trends and an operational improvement in RBB SA (65% of Group earnings).

In our view, ABSA (ABG), Nedbank (NED) and Standard Bank (SBK) remain undervalued using sustainable ROEs. We ex...
