Public Bank's 4Q Earnings Likely to See NIM Squeeze -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

02/09

0114 GMT - Public Bank's 4Q 2025 earnings could see on-quarter net interest margin compression, Maybank IB analyst Desmond Ch'ng says in a note. However, benign credit costs could provide support, as it has over MYR900 million of preemptive provisions. He expects 2025 core net profit to grow 4.5%, and accelerating to 5.3% in 2026 on stable margins and low credit costs. LPI Capital's plans to place out its 1.1% stake in Public Bank by June could also help reduce uncertainty and potential selling pressure, he reckons. Improved capital ratios could also be one of Public Bank's earnings catalysts in 2026, he adds. Maybank raises Public Bank's target price to MYR5.45 from MYR5.10, while maintaining a buy rating on the stock. Shares are 0.4% higher at MYR4.99.(yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
