Affin Holdings (Hold)
Targeting More Controlled Pace Of Growth
  • Targeting more controlled pace of FY12 loans growth at 10-11% but nochange in lending direction i.e. balance expansion between retail andbusiness.  Strong pipeline to support the target.
  • New responsible lending guideline has some impact but not sufficient toderail the growth trajectory.
  • CIR and credit costs guidance are 47-48% and 20-25bps.
  • Already fully complied with FRS139.
  • Collaboration with BEA is ongoing with increased flows but China stilllacks framework to become viable.
  • It is still interested in Bank Ina and the recent meeting with theIndonesian authority could result in follow up action.
  • Dividend should be sustainable if not improve.
  • We are more conservative in loans growth projection(7%) but in line with CIR and credit costs guidance.  Thus, FY12 ROEprojection of 9.5% is slightly below KPI of 9.6%.
  • Maintain Hold.
  • Target price maintained at RM2.96 based on GordonGrowth with both ROE of 9.4% and WACC of 11%.
