-- 傑富瑞週四在一份報告中指出,昆士蘭銀行(ASX:BOQ)在公佈上半年業績時面臨貸款規模萎縮、盈利前景溫和以及在撤出住房貸款業務和與Challenger合作後,其戰略、利潤率和資本狀況仍存在諸多疑問。 傑富瑞預計,昆士蘭銀行上半年獲利將基本維持穩定,淨利差將小幅下降至約1.7%,現金收益將成長1%至1.85億澳元,撥備前利潤將成長9%至2.98億澳元,並派發每股0.20澳元的中期股息。 該公司指出,貸款成長依然疲軟,預計上半年貸款規模將進一步下降2%,自2023年上半年以來累計下降6%,原因是該公司正持續從房屋貸款轉向回報更高的商業貸款。 該公司表示,其關注重點還將放在與Challenger的資本合作上,包括出售和推進其設備融資業務,預計這將導致法定收益減少3100萬澳元,並尋求明確收益增長、交易量和潛在成本節約等方面的具體情況。 該公司補充道,利潤率和融資仍然是關注的焦點,儘管貸款業務放緩,但存款成本仍然構成壓力。該公司強調存款成長、定價和複製投資組合收益是關鍵,同時預期壞帳撥備將小幅上升。 傑富瑞維持對昆士蘭銀行的「弱於大盤」評級,目標價為5.76澳元。
