MCB Bank (Pakistan): MCB Bank Ltd: 2QCY23 Review - Strong asset repric...

MCB has posted consolidated 2QCY23 NPAT of PKR14.7bn (EPS: PKR12.38), up a massive 6.4x YoY and 25% QoQ. This takes 1HCY23 NPAT to PKR28.6bn (EPS: PKR24.13), up 2.5x YoY. The result is much better than our estimated 2Q EPS of PKR9.85, led by a sharp rise in NII (+80% YoY) and very strong fee income delivery (up 37% YoY). Results were accompanied by a second interim cash dividend of PKR7.0/sh – slightly higher than estimated, taking 1HCY23 DPS to PKR13.0/sh. 2QCY23 RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS: * MCB r...

United Bank: Laser-sharp focus on profitability and payouts

* The signing of the IMF SBA programme has improved prospects for Pakistan’s economy, with the banking sector being the best performing at the Index in July. UBL has led the pack on a laser-sharp focus on profitability and excellent dividend yield. * We raise CY23-27f EPS estimates for UBL by 13% on average, on strong margin expansion and asset quality. We also incorporate an ultra-high cash payout ratio for the next 1-2yrs (c 100% payout in CY23f), with capital ratios appearing adequat...

Habib Bank: 2QCY23 Review - Record high pre-tax profits

HBL has reported 2QCY23 NPAT of PKR13.0bn (EPS: PKR8.86), up 3.8x YoY / flat QoQ. This takes 1HCY23 NPAT to PKR26.2bn (EPS: PKR17.86), up 2.2x YoY. The 2Q result is in line with our expected EPS of PKR8.90, while the interim DPS of PKR2.00 is higher than our estimated DPS of PKR1.50. While total provisions and admin expenses are slightly higher than expected, these have been offset by strong non-interest income led by fee. Strong performance has led to improvement in T1 and CAR to comfortable...

United Bank: 2QCY23 Result Review: Another stellar payout

UBL has posted consolidated 2QCY23 NPAT of PKR12.7bn (EPS: PKR10.39), up a massive 4.8x YoY and 11% QoQ. This takes 1HCY23 NPAT to PKR27.5bn (EPS: PKR22.01), up 2.3x YoY. The result is higher than our projected 2Q EPS of PKR9.50, with the deviation primarily stemming from a deferred tax reversal which reduced the overall effective tax rate. UBL also announced a higher than expected dividend of PKR11.0/sh vs. our estimate of PKR10.0/sh, translating into a 106% payout. 2QCY23 RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS...

Pakistan Banks – 2QCY23 Result Previews - Strong core performance to c...

* Pre-tax 2QCY23 profits for the IMS Banking Universe are expected to rise 10%QoQ, reflecting strong core performance. However, net earnings may come off by 15%QoQ due to retrospective impact of super tax (10% vs. 4% previously). Payouts should remain broadly intact. * Domestic asset quality has remained resilient, which should keep the cost of risk in check. Impairment, if any, should also be contained compared to the last few quarters. We expect MEBL to stand out due to the lagged ass...

Pakistan Banks: Returning conviction

* With the IMF staff-level agreement in place, the much needed breathing space for Pakistan's economy reinforces our liking for the banking sector. The absence of banks from debt restructuring in Zambia and Sri Lanka also provides comfort if this conversation crops up again in Pakistan next year. * 1QCY23 results indicate underlying profitability is strong, on rising margins and resilient asset quality. Our 2023-27f earnings estimates remain broadly unchanged, even as we conservatively ...

The result is significantly above our projected EPS of PKR10.15, with the deviation stemming from very high Fx gains (other line items are broadly in line).

Habib Bank: 1QY23 Review - Reasonable base to build upon

HBL has reported 1QCY23 NPAT of PKR13.2bn (EPS: PKR9.00), up 56% YoY / 24% QoQ. The result is inline with our expected EPS of PKR8.90, although the first interim DPS of PKR1.50 falls short of our expected PKR2.00. Relatively weak non-interest income (Fx losses), high admin expenses and a low tax rate (38% vs. 43% expected) are among the salient features of the result, which mask solid core revenue generation for the bank. 1QCY23 RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS: * NII came in at PKR55.8bn, inline with exp...

BAHL has posted 1QCY23 NPAT of PKR10.6bn (EPS: PKR9.56), up a massive 115% YoY and 6.4x QoQ. This is an impressive result, much higher than our estimated PKR5.81/sh, with the deviation primarily stemming from significantly lower provisions of PKR980mn vs. PKR10.4bn in the previous quarter and very high Fx income. 1QCY23 RESULT HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: * Net interest income came in line with projections at PKR24.6bn – up 54% YoY and 8% QoQ on strong margin expansion amid asset repricing. * BA...
