SCB reported 1Q24 net profit of Bt11.3b (+3% yoy, +3% qoq). The results were in line with market expectation. The NPL ratio increased as the earnings asset base shrank due to the loan-to-deposit optimisation strategy. However, absolute NPLs decreased qoq. SCB revealed that the migration issue at CardX has largely stabilised. Management guided that SCB will maintain a prudent approach to keep a decent asset quality. Maintain BUY.

SCB reported 3Q23 net profit of Bt9.7b (-6% yoy, -19% qoq). The results were in line with our expectations but below consensus’ by 9%. The key drag was softer non-II qoq with high credit cost. Management guided that NIM should peak in 4Q23. Although there is still a concern about high credit cost, we have already factored in our forecasts. Its share price has reflected this concern with a 12% decline in the last two months. We maintain BUY with a lower target price of Bt124.00.

SCB reported a net profit of Bt11b (+10% yoy, +54% qoq) for 1Q23. The results exceeded our expectations by 9% due to stronger-than-expected non-II brought about by a gain from investment. Credit cost rose massively by 50bp due to additional provisioning for a specific corporate account. We are still optimistic and expect to see an impressive performance from SCB in 2H23. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt133.00.

SCB X (SCB TB) - Expect 1Q23 Earnings To Bounce qoq
We expect SCB to post a 1Q23 net profit of around Bt10.0b (-1.2% yoy, +41.0% qoq). A solid qoq growth should be attributed to an improvement in cost-to-income ratio. We revised our 2023-25 earnings forecasts down due to unfavourable sentiment in the equity market, undermining investment income and wealth management fees. However, the negative earnings outlook should have been priced in, and the valuation is cheap. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt133.00.
