Bank of Queensland's Capital, NIM in Focus at Annual Result -- Market Talk

2131 GMT - Bank of Queensland's bear at Jefferies highlights three themes for the lender to address at its FY 2025 result on Oct. 15. It wants to know how protected BOQ's net interest margin has been given weak balance sheet growth and a shift toward business lending. It's also seeking an update on funding and BOQ's capital. "Given BOQ has now walked away from its previous return-on-equity targets, we think our FY 2025-2027 average ROE forecast of circa 6.5% can only justify a payout ratio at the bottom end of the current target range," Analyst Andrew Lyons says. "As such, we will be looking for any update on this target." Jefferies expects BOQ to raise its final dividend by 1 Australian cent to A$0.18/share. It retains an underperform call on BOQ.
