IMF Identifies Nine Big Banks Likely to Struggle With Profitability

10/12/2017
It is unusual for a body like the IMF to identify banks by name. The report named nine financial institutions in all, Besides Citigroup, Deutsche and Barclays, it also named Société Générale , SCGLY 0.13% Italy’s UniCredit UNCFF -0.54% S.p.A., the U.K.’s Standard Chartered STAN -0.30% PLC and Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group , Mizuho Financial Group and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group as likely to deliver subpar profits.
“Institutions that are not profitable might not be able to generate enough capital in the future should adverse shocks hit,” Tobias Adrian, director of the IMF’s monetary and capital markets department, told reporters. “It might become a financial stability risk not to be profitable.”
The IMF said the consensus among private-sector bank-industry analysts was for a return on equity of less than 8% for each of those nine banks in 2019. In previous research, the IMF has said that banks’ cost of equity—that is the return stock investors expect on their holdings—is at least 8%. Banks need to earn above this threshold to remain consistently profitable and otherwise may face difficulty building capital for a rainy day, the IMF said.

海通國際重申大新金融(440)「買入」評級,目標價升至66元,認為市場目前未反映其一般保險業務和所剩的現金及證券投資。其擬增資旗下一般保險業務14.5億元,料業務股本回報將由2017年的2.7%反彈至2018-19年度的4.4-4.9%,33億元現金投放債券回報約為2.3-4%。
海通國際上調大新銀行(2356)目標價至19.96元,評級維持「買入」,分析員陳昔典認為,大新銀行資產和負債管理改善,淨息差壓力有限料2017-19年淨息差1.92-1.95%,料其一級資本充足比率期間維持13%以上,無補充資本需要。香港銀行同業拆息跟隨美息上升將是短期催化劑。

Japan Is Counting on Shareholder Activism to Improve Its Economy
Man-cheong
10/05/2017
Shareholder activism is a quintessentially American form of investing. In the U.S., CEOs live in fear of activist hedge funds, and politicians worry about their effects on workers. But the case for shareholder activism is perhaps best seen in Japan, where the corporate sector tends to be structurally skewed in favor of employees, at the expense of shareholders and the economy. In Japan several factors combine to help insulate managers from outside influence, including cross-holdings where the company owns shares in a partner firm, docile boards mostly composed of company executives, and a court system historically biased against investment funds. In Japan the worry lately has not been about too much shareholder activism but about too little. Remarkably, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has embraced shareholder activism, in a bid to encourage the adoption of his corporate governance reforms, a central part of his economic policy platform.
