China Merchants Bank's Near-Term Catalysts Likely Limited -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Sep 04

0504 GMT - China Merchants Bank likely has limited near-term catalysts to help boost its share price, says UOB Kay Hian's Kenny Lim in a note. The lender's 2Q asset quality is stable, but it could continue to face risks in retail non-performing loans, which rose from the first quarter on higher delinquencies in micro-finance and consumer loans. The lender's 2Q fee income was weaker than Lim expected and its dividend yield of less than 5% lags behind its larger peers'. He trims his loan and fee income growth estimates, and reduces his 2025, 2026 and 2027 earnings forecasts by 3.2%, 2.4% and 3.4%, respectively. UOB Kay Hian downgrades its rating to hold from buy and lowers its target price to HK$51.00 from HK$60.00. Shares fall 1% at HK$47.40. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
