-- 独立研究机构CFRA向提供了以下研究报告。CFRA分析师总结如下：NatWest公布了2026年第一季度强劲的业绩，归属于母公司股东的利润为14.32亿英镑（同比增长14.4%），超出市场普遍预期的13.37亿英镑，同时保持了18.2%的股东权益回报率（RoTE）。尽管受季节性因素影响环比下降0.8%，但总收入仍同比增长9.5%，达到43.58亿英镑。净息差（NIM）在存款重新定价的推动下提升了20个基点至2.47%。该行展现了严格的成本控制，成本收入比同比下降210个基点至46.5%，这得益于运营效率的提升和人工智能（AI）技术的部署。管理层将2026年收入预期上调至172亿至176亿英镑区间的上限，但这需要年底前保持持续的增长势头。信贷质量依然可控，减值损失为2.83亿英镑（贷款减值率为26个基点），反映了经济的不确定性；同时，由于资本生成强劲，CET1比率上升30个基点至14.3%。鉴于宏观经济的不确定性，我们认为上调后的业绩指引可以实现，但并非板上钉钉，持续的结构性对冲收益增长和强劲的贷款势头将支撑这一目标。
