バンク・オブ・クイーンズランドは、上半期決算発表を前に、取引量の減少と戦略の不確実性に直面していると、ジェフリーズが指摘。

-- バンク・オブ・クイーンズランド(ASX:BOQ)は、住宅ローン事業の縮小とチャレンジャー・バンクとの提携を受けて、融資残高の減少、控えめな収益見通し、そして戦略、マージン、資本に関する懸念が残る中で上半期決算を迎える、とジェフリーズは木曜日のレポートで述べた。 ジェフリーズは、上半期の収益は概ね横ばいになると予想しており、純金利マージンは約1.7%に低下、現金収入は1%増の1億8500万豪ドル、引当金控除前利益は9%増の2億9800万豪ドル、中間配当は1株当たり0.20豪ドルと見込んでいる。 同社は、融資残高の伸びは依然として低迷しており、上半期にはさらに2%減少すると予想している。これは、2023年上半期からの6%の減少をさらに拡大するものであり、バンク・オブ・クイーンズランドが住宅ローンから高収益の事業融資へとシフトを続けていることを示唆している。 同社は、チャレンジャーとの資本提携にも注力すると述べ、設備ファイナンスポートフォリオの売却とフォワードフローを含め、法定利益に3,100万豪ドルの損失が見込まれるとし、収益効果、取引量、潜在的なコスト削減効果について明確化を求めている。 同社はまた、マージンと資金調達に引き続き注力しており、融資の軟化にもかかわらず預金コストが依然として重荷となっていると指摘。預金増加、価格設定、ポートフォリオ効果の再現が鍵となるとし、不良債権引当金は小幅に増加すると予想している。 ジェフリーズはバンク・オブ・クイーンズランドの投資判断を「アンダーパフォーム」に据え置き、目標株価を5.76豪ドルとした。

RBC Adjusts Forecasts, Price Target for Aker BP Post-Q1 Trading Update

RBC Capital Markets tweaked its earnings estimates and price target for Aker BP (AKRBP.OL) to integrate the oil and gas company's first-quarter trading update and the research firm's adjusted commodity price deck."We have updated our model to reflect that Aker BP produced 398.4 [thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day] in 1Q26, ~87% liquids, slightly lower than 4Q production of 411kboe/d, but in line with consensus expectations. Overlift of 7.3mboe/d and realisations of $82.2 [per barrel] for liquids and $80.5 [per barrel of oil equivalent] for gas both boost earnings and cashflow, adjacent and below. Production remains within the FY26 production guidance range of 370-400kboe/d. The company is scheduled to report 1Q26 results at 5am BST on 7th May. We anticipate the presentation to focus on production performance [year to date] at the Johan Sverdrup field, production guidance, progress at the recently on stream Symra field and the remaining developments, particularly ggdrasil," the research firm said Thursday.As such, analysts raised their earnings projections, including revenue and basic EPS forecasts, for full-year 2026 through 2028.RBC also lifted its price target to 380 Norwegian kroner from 355 kroner, while affirming its outperform rating, to reflect an increase in the research firm's 2026 to 2027 oil price forecasts and an $80 per barrel long-term Brent assumption.
