Positive Outlook Priced In – Focus On Laggards The sector delivered 3Q24 earnings growth of 11% yoy, driven by lower provisions and robust trading and forex income. 9M24 earnings growth of 8% aligns with our fullyear assumption of 8%.

Positive Growth Trajectory Priced In Management remains optimistic about meeting its 11.0-11.5% ROE target, driven by improving asset quality trends, strong non-interest income, more rational deposit competition and disciplined loan pricing supporting NIM recovery. However, we think these positives have been priced in with CIMB trading at +1SD above its 10-year historical mean PBV. Maintain HOLD and target price of RM8.12 (1.14x 2025F P/B, 11.5% ROE).

3Q24: CIMB Niaga Results: Tepid Revenue Growth CIMB Niaga (93%-owned by CIMB Group) reported 3Q24 earnings of Rp1,726b (flat qoq, +3% yoy), bringing 9M24 earnings to Rp5,133b (+5% yoy). This is in line with estimates, accounting for 75-76% of our and consensus full-year forecasts. 9M24 earnings growth of 5% was underpinned by a 17% reduction in provisions for bad loans. However, softer total income (-1% due to NIM contraction and lower forex and derivative income) constrained faster earnings gro...
Loans Growth Tapers Off Loan growth slowed to 5.6% in Sep 24 (Aug 24: 6.0%) due to weaker business loans. We maintain our full-year loan growth target of 6.5-7.0%, supported by strong GDP growth, though weaker-than-expected corporate loans could pose a risk. The sector's riskreward remains balanced in the absence of strong earnings, with 2024/25 earnings growth likely to lag the broader market. Maintain a MARKET WEIGHT stance, focusing on sector laggards such as Public Bank, RHB Bank, and Hong L...

With the sector trading at 1.0SD above its historical mean P/B and earnings growth lagging the KLCI, much of the favourable macro-outlook appears to be priced in.

2Q24: Solid ROE Trajectory Priced In; Downgrade To HOLD 2Q24 earnings were broadly in line with expectations. 2Q24 earnings growth was underpinned by lower provisions and non-interest income growth. However, given the stock’s impressive ytd share price performance, outperforming both the KLCI and KLFIN index by 24% and 21% respectively, we downgrade CIMB to HOLD, maintaining our target price at RM8.12 (1.14x 2025 P/B, 11.5% ROE).

Addressing The Triple Concerns The FBMKLCI’s shocking 4.6% plunge yesterday provides a compelling buying opportunity in the intermediate term, although the nearer-term situation remains fluid. We attribute the panic selldown to the unwinding of the yen carry trade, deep escalation of the Middle East conflict and fears of a US recession. A major uncertain factor is whether the Middle East conflict could blow up. As a fuller market recovery could take weeks to recover, we provide a sense of trough...
Loans Growth Gains Traction Loans growth edged upwards to 6.5% (May: 5.8%) on a recovery in business loans. We raise our 2024 loans growth assumption to 6.5-7.0% on stronger business loans growth. This implies a 1.46x loans growth to GDP multiple (GDP forecast: 4.6%) which is relatively high vs the 10-year historical range of 0.90-1.70x. As earnings sensitivity to loans growth is rather modest, the impact on earnings forecast is only +0.5%. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT with CIMB being our top pick wit...

Growth Trajectory Remains Promising Management remains optimistic that it will be able to meet its 11-11.5% ROE target, driven by improving asset quality trends, strong non-interest income, and more rational deposit competition and disciplined loan pricing that will support NIM recovery.
