Banking - Digital Banks Ramping Up Deposit Competition?
Digital Banks Ramping Up Deposit Competition? As the five digital banks prepare to commence operations in the coming months, we anticipate a focus on deposit acquisition, potentially impacting sector NIM slightly. Sector valuations have risen to a historical mean P/B of 1.10x, which appears fair against forecasted ROE of 10% and earnings growth of only 6% vs our KLCI earnings growth assumption of 11%. We maintain our MARKET WEIGHT recommendation on the sector. CIMB remains our preferred choice.

Alibaba saw solid consumption momentum in Jan-Feb 24 on its platform and slight moderation in March with its continuous focus on user needs. We expect revenue to grow 6% yoy for 4QFY24, fuelled by better CMR growth.

MPM has highlighted the promising future of offshore wind with rising global capacity targets. Average dayrates and utilisation rates are also likely to remain on the uptrend, supported by growing demand and limited vessel supply. We believe this allows MPM to continue securing ship chartering contracts and expanding into new markets, with its fleet and shipyard growth expected to contribute from FY25. Maintain BUY with a target price of S$0.086.
