PBB was one of the best and most reliable banks once upon a time. Today it lacks direction and is staggering! The management must take responsibility. Definitely this old management is not good for this bank and it’s about to bring in a young and robust team with more ideas otherwise it will keep sinking.😭😭😭

@Integrity. Intelligent. Industrious. 3iii (iiinvestsmart)$€£¥:
> Revenues and earnings continue to grow at low pace (4% annually). Dividends paid over the last 10 years grew from 11sen (2014) to 19 sen (2023),. growing at CAGR of 6%+. At price of RM 4.04: Its PE has shrunk from mean of 14 to 11.8 today. Its present DY is 4.7%.

PBBank reached its highest point in 2018, with a P/E Ratio exceeding 17. Now that ratio has reduced to 11.8, as you pointed out. The question is why?

Between 2018 and 2023, the bank's assets have grown from RM420 million to RM511 million (CAGR: 4.0%). During the same period, revenue has grown from RM22.0 million to RM25.4 million (CAGR: 2.9%), and profits have grown from RM5.6 million to RM6.7 million (CAGR: 3.5%). It is apparent from the above that the assets at the bank are growing faster than the profits generated from those assets, indicating maturity and a slowdown.

Comparing the above figures with those from five years prior — between 2013 and 2018 — we get a CAGR of 4.0% for asset growth, and 5.5% and 4.4% for revenue and profit growth, respectively. From this, we can clearly see that revenue and profits were growing faster than assets in the five years leading up to the bank's peak in 2018.

The bank prides itself on having the highest Return on Equity (ROE) of 13.0%. Although this number has slipped from 14.8% in 2018, it remains respectable. The thing about ROE is that it can be achieved either by increasing profits (the numerator) or reducing equity (the denominator). Sadly for PBBank, it is doing the latter. Between 2016 and 2018, the bank consistently increased its dividend payout ratio. As a result, the payout percentage grew from 43.0% to 55.5% during these years. This is yet another sign of maturity and slowdown.

In short, Public Bank needs to get aggressive about increasing its topline and bottom-line. It isn't sufficient to say the bank holds the leading position in the Malaysian market for residential and commercial property financing, passenger vehicle financing, and the private retail unit trust business (which, thankfully, has started growing again after hitting a low point in 2020).

Maybe the bank is already addressing this, as the gross impaired loan ratio (GIR) increased a few basis points in 2023, and the bank has publicly revealed its target for GIR to be less than 1.0. (Between 2015 and 2022, the bank's GIR averaged below 0.5. Higher values were seen in 2014 and 2013, when the numbers were 0.6 and 0.7, respectively.)

Besides the above, I'd also like to see the bank get aggressive about incorporating digital technology within its operations and reducing manpower. At present, the bank has over 19,000 employees. The financial sector is one of the biggest beneficiaries of new technology. When PBBank gets serious about this, it will likely result in job cuts. However, I suspect the bank is reluctant to take this step.

Over the last 10 years:

It grew its revenue at CAGR of 4.86%
It grew its net profit at CAGR 4.27%
Its dividend distributed grew at CAGR of 6.53%.

Its DPO ratio grew from 46% (2014) to 55% (2023).
DPS grew from 10.74 sen (2014) to 19 sen (2023).
Of note: in 2020, it distributed 13 sen in dividends (cf 14.60 sen in 2019)
Its Net Profit Margins remain steady between 25% to 27%.
Its ROEs from 2014 to 2018 were in the mid teens. From 2019 to now, they were at the low teens.

Its PE hovered between 12 to 16 over many years. Today, its PE is in the lower part of this range.
A good way to value a bank is to look at its P/NAPS: PBB was a very expensive bank in the past as its P/NAPS was consistently above 2. Today, its P/NAPS is 1.52x. With a ROE of 12.16% today, this high quality company is trading at a: _____________.


Price = EPS x PE

Its EPS is consistent and growing.
Its PE has shrunk.

What is the point of PBB being rated highly by the so called RAM and other organisations when the share price keeps falling every day. Also if it’s supposed to be rich in assets and cash than why isn’t it giving us dividends as compared to MBB, CIMB or even RHB? Disappointing and Disgusting!

If price don't drop, when can we collect ? Collect by stage and when it rise again, can balance back how much to hold long term. Got nothing to lose . DIV is consistent. But it would be different for those few days traders. Waiting and park buy 3.95 , 3.85 ... but i guess not easy.
