OSK Research, in its review of AMMB's financial performance, said the FY ended March 31, 2011 earnings were within consensus.
'The results were lifted by lower provisions, bond investment gains and forex income. The group has done well in diversifying its loans mix with floating rate loans now making up a larger 52% of its total loans base vs just 38% 2 years ago.
'However its low CASA ratio of 12% could jeopardise margins under the current rising interest rate environment coupled with continued escalation in deposit competition. We are maintaining our TP of RM6.90 (1.80x FY12 PBV, 13.4% ROE) and NEUTRAL recommendation,' it said.
