Santander Results Look Unexciting

Dow Jones07-22 16:56

0856 GMT - Banco Santander's second-quarter results seem unexciting, as the Spanish bank reported earnings that were in line with expectations and reiterated guidance, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods's Hugo Cruz and Ben Maher say in a research note. The group's net profit exceeded expectations in the U.S., Spain and Chile, but its digital-consumer and Brazilian operations fared worse than expected, according to KBW. "These results are perhaps unexciting, but the share price has underperformed the [Euro Stoxx Banks index] by 2% over the last month, and [Santander's] transformation into the potential scale winner in Europe banking seems to be on track, so we reiterate our rating of outperform," the analysts say. Shares rise 1.9%. (adria.calatayud@wsj.com)
