WOOD Flash – Garanti Bank: 2019 targets highlights

Garanti announced its 2019 budget yesterday (9 January). The main tenets of the bank’s 2019 budget are very similar to Akbank, as expected: Garanti is planning keep the NIM contraction at 30-40bps and the COR less than 300bps. The bank is rather sceptical on the volumes outlook, with only 5% growth expectation in TRY loans and as much as a 10% contraction in FX loans. The 2019E ROE is foreseen as in the low-teens. In general, we find the numbers and tone on 2019E as in line with the market’s preliminary expectations. Management also highlighted that the bank may opt not to distribute dividends from the 2018E net income. We do not expect a market reaction to the 2019 targets. We rate Garanti a BUY, with a TRY 10.4/share price target (PT). The stock is trading at 4.9x P/E and 0.7x P/TBV for 2018E, on our estimates.
