Standard Chartered Faces Multiple Headwinds -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-04 20:24

1223 GMT - Standard Chartered is facing lower upside potential, Goldman Sachs says in a research note. The pace of non interest income growth is at its highest level since 2018, but potential worse-than-expected market movements could pose a risk, analysts Gurpreet Singh Sahi and Wing Huang write. The Asia-focused lender's structural hedging is also relatively low and management has warned on 2025 net interest income, they add. With the group starting a restructuring period, volatility is anticipated in reported earnings while the delivery of costs savings could weigh, the analyst note. However, the lender has narrowed the gap with peer HSBC in terms of tangible book-based valuation, they add. Goldman Sachs downgrades its rating on the stock to neutral from buy. Shares in London rise 1% to 922.6 pence. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
