RE: Fundamentals unchanged and interest rates/margins likely to fall.31 Jul 2024 17:23
I beg to differ, no one (myself including expected profitability to return so soon, especially with the mortgage sale), shorts will be in trouble here, tangible book value at £1.37, no reason why this doesn't shoot back into the £s now
Daniel Frumkin, Chief Executive Officer at Metro Bank, said:
“Metro Bank has made significant underlying progress during the first half of 2024. We have built real momentum in credit approved pipelines across commercial, corporate and SME lending, whilst expanding spreads in retail mortgages and repricing deposits. At the same time, our continued cost discipline is creating a simpler, more agile bank that is fit for the future.”
“Our upgraded guidance today reflects progress against our strategy, including the recent residential mortgage portfolio sale. We expect these actions to positively impact on our balance sheet in the fourth quarter of the current financial year, delivering a return to profitability.”
“We look to the future with renewed confidence, as we continue to strengthen and deepen our people-people banking and relationship-led services in areas our FANS value the most.”
All IMO
