DB: STANCHART (02888.HK) 3Q Results Beat Expectations, Raises Guidance
2026-11-02 14:04:33
Deutsche Bank said in a research report published last week that STANDARD CHARTERED (02888.HK)'s third-quarter results beat market expectations and the bank also raised its guidance. The broker believed this would lead to a slight upward revision in market expectations for 2026 and expected a positive share price reaction.

The broker noted that STANDARD CHARTERED (02888.HK)'s pre-provision operating profit was 4% above market expectations, with the outperformance being broad-based and driven by both net interest income and non-interest income. By product segment, wealth management income and transaction services delivered strong performance. The 2026 revenue guidance was raised to the upper end of the expected 5% to 7% CAGR range, with net interest income expected to rise about 4% YoY, the cost-to-income ratio at about 60%, and the return on tangible equity guidance at around 14%, higher than the previous guidance of above 12% and market expectations of 13.8%.

The broker believed market expectations for STANDARD CHARTERED (02888.HK) in 2026 may only be revised up slightly by about 1%, driven by higher net interest income but partly offset by a higher cost-to-income ratio. It was more uncertain whether the upward revision could extend into 2027. The broker maintained its "Buy" rating on STANDARD CHARTERED (STAN.L) shares in the UK market, with a TP of GBX2,450.(da)~
