0908 GMT - Lloyds Banking Group is set to see faster and more sustainable income growth than NatWest and Barclays, HSBC says in a research note. This should allow the U.K. domestic bank to see the biggest uplift in return on tangible equity, analyst Robin Down writes. The bank's more diversified business model and fee income growth makes it the best placed to benefit as costs and risk-weighed assets inflation remains low, he notes. "Indeed that growth is enough to offset our concerns around motor finance provisions" Down says, referring to U.K.'s regulatory probe on car loans. HSBC lifts the stock rating to buy from hold and its target price to 85 pence from 61 pence. Shares edge up 0.1% to 70.66 pence and are up 29% since the start of the year. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
