It is hard to follow any supply on FTSE 100. I just looked Standard charter (LSE: Stan) From time to time and as it turns out, I missed too much. But can the unusual results of a bank focused on Asia be continued?
The Khartered standard increased by 98% last year, and its actions increased by 246% in two years, with dividends at the top. He had Star 2024 from year -round results published in February, showing a 18% profit jump before taxing up to USD 6 billion.
The price of the campaign was another augment from last week’s results 2025, published on July 31. They showed a 26% augment in profit before taxing up to USD 4.38 billion, flying with analysts of USD 3.83 billion.
Actions break it down
The bank also announced the purchase of shares worth USD 1.3 billion and increased their fleeting dividend by 37% to 12.3 cents in the USA per share. CEO Bill Winters leaned “Strong performance in the first half” driven by focusing on cross -border and wealthy banking.
As a result, the analysts raised their expectations, and the edge capital increased the estimated respect of the fair value from 1 270p to 1,355 pence. This is actually below today’s share price 1,383 pence, which suggests that the actions could for now run their course.
Shore is not the only analyst suggesting that the actions have gone as far as possible. 15 analysts providing an annual price of about 1342 pence. This implies a compact decrease in about 3% compared to the current levels. These estimates will probably be earlier in 11% jump in the last month, but confirm my suspicion that the fun may end now.
FTSE 100 Banks are flying
I say that the Khartered standard is overlooked, but apparently some investors have noticed it. I really mean that immense FTSE 100 banks, such as BarclaysIN Natwest Group AND Lloyds Banking Group They tend to dominate investors’ attention. For people looking for exhibitions in Asia, HSBC Holdings He tends to grab the headlight delicate.
All main banks have enjoyed a significant re -assessment in recent years. Personally, I keep Lloyds. Although it was a bit delayed, partly due to the sale of car finances, I hardly complain.
In the case of people looking for HSBC, Lloyds and NATWWs, they offer tempting end crops 5.23%, 4.11%and 4.78%, respectively. The standard Khartered performance is about 2%.
The perspective is positive, but banks are risking. A deep exposure to standard Asia, especially to China, exposes it to deterioration of commercial tensions from the USA. The Chinese economy faces structural challenges not related to geopolitical competition, although it did not consider the Khartered standard over the past year.
This supply can leisurely down
Donald Trump’s tariffs can also affect, achieving global growth and customer activity. On the other hand, banks focused on Great Britain are facing national challenges. Regardless of where they operate, banks must move in risk.
Despite the forceful running, I think that the Kharted standard remains worth considering for long -term investors who want exposure to the banking market in Asia. It still looks like a decent value, with a price indicator to a profit of about 11. Like all FTSE 100 banks. However, I suspect that after recovering the entire bumper sector, the matter will now composed down a bit.
