Rate cut to post slight downside risk to banks’ earnings We are maintaining our Overweight stance for the banking sector given that banks will be the prime gainers on the improving macro fronts. Our top picks remain KBANK, SCB and TMB. However, the rate cut impact and the potential for a weaker‐than‐expected economic growth may post some downside risk to banks’ earnings. The MPC voted 4‐3 to cut the rate by 25bps At the meeting on March 11, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted four to three to cut the policy rate by 25bps to 1.75%. The decision seemed to be a surprise to the market as only six analysts out of 22 had predicted it. SCB to follow lead of central bank Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) became the first commercial bank to follow the central bank's 25‐basis‐point rate cut. The bank trimmed its minimum lending rate (MLR) and fixed‐deposit rate by 20 basis points, effective on 12 Mar‐15, while keeping savings deposit rates unchanged. Expect banks 15E net profit to be hurt by 2‐3% from the rate cut Assuming a 25 bps policy rate cut and parallel rate cuts (20 bps cut in MLR and fixed deposit rate), we expect large to mid size banks’ net profit for 2015E to be hurt by 2‐3% with BBL and KTB to see a slightly higher impact (see figure 1). This will especially dampen NIM during 2Q‐ 3Q/15 as it takes around one or two quarters for deposits to be re‐ priced. The greater impact to BBL and KTB is due largely to the high influx of deposits since 4Q14 and higher net excess liquidity (~Bt440bn for BBL and Bt350bn for KTB as of Jan‐15) in the money market (figure 2). KBANK should see a lower impact among large banks on its more efficient NIM management. Gainers will be consumer finance and auto hire purchase operators The main gainers from the rate cut will be consumer finance firms (SAWAD, MTLS, KTC), with the potential positive impact to 2015E net profit expected to be around 2‐4%, as well as auto hire purchase operators (TCAP, TISCO, KKP), with an expected net potential positive impact to 2015E net profit of ~2% (figure 1). This should be thanks to their portfolio mixes with fixed rate loans constituting around 60‐90% of the total portfolio vs. around 30% for banks. Potential for weaker‐than expected economy may post some risk to banks’ earnings The rate cut coupled with the likelihood of slower‐than‐expected GDP growth could post some downside risk to the NIM and net profit forecasts for 2015E by around 5%.
