STOCK INFO

STANCHART (02888.HK)  -0.700 (-0.493%)    Short selling $2.86M; Ratio 1.228%   's 2Q25 pre-provision operating profit (PPoP) and profit before tax (PBT) beat expectations by 12%/ 23% each, mainly due to better-than-expected non-net interest income performance, according to JPMorgan's research report.

STANCHART remains its top pick, primarily because the management noted a positive start to 3Q25 and raised its FY2025 total revenue forecast to the lower end of the 5-7% range, the broker added. Also, JPMorgan predicted a low single-digit increase in EPS for FY2025-FY2026, benefiting from slightly increased total revenue and reduced provisions in 2025.
