CIMB 1Q25 Results Update (UOBKH)
CIMB’s 1Q25 results are in line, supported by lower provisions, though pre-provision
profit declined yoy. Maintain HOLD, with target price unchanged at RM7.70 (1.13x 2025F
P/B, 11.1% ROE). While valuations at 1.03x P/B are fair, they align with the historical
mean. We remain cautious of forex weakness from regional operations and credit costs
amid regional macro headwinds. With earnings growth capped at 3% amid NIM
pressure, the risk-reward is balanced, underpinned by a 5.8% dividend yield.
