RHB Bank (RHBBANK MK) Dividend Allure At Attractive Valuations
Management has alluded to the possibility of repeating 2019’s record high dividend payout ratio in 2021 which we have yet to factor into our assumptions. Credit cost guidance has also been broadly maintained. We like RHBBANK for its: a) industry leading CET ratio of above 16%, which provides scope for upside surprise in dividends; b) attractive valuations; and c) above industry loans growth. Maintain BUY and target price of RM6.35 (8.9% ROE, 0.89x 2021F P/B).

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Risk of defaults mitigated
■ YZJ’s 2013-1H21 average credit cost p.a. of 1.3% was comparable to China banks’ 1%. NPL formation stable over the past 2 years at c.Rmb861m p.a. ■ Default risk for YZJ’s debt securities is mitigated by its >1x collateral coverage ratio – 2.6x in land, 1.8x in shares (min. coverage required: 1.2x). ■ We understand that its proportion of real-estate borrowers has reduced from 41% since 1H21 due to redemption/expiry. Reiterate Add, with S$1.91 TP. ■ Assuming worst-case scenario of 50% LGD for 1H21 collaterals by personal guarantee and real estate, our TP would dip to S$1.77 (still 22% upside).
