-- 独立系調査会社CFRAは、に対し、以下の調査レポートを提供しました。CFRAのアナリストは、以下のように見解をまとめています。NatWestは、2026年第1四半期に堅調な業績を達成しました。帰属利益は14億3,200万ポンド(前年同期比14.4%増)となり、市場予想の13億3,700万ポンドを上回りました。また、自己資本利益率(RoTE)は18.2%を維持しました。総収入は43億5,800万ポンドで、季節要因により前期比0.8%減となったものの、前年同期比9.5%増となりました。預金金利の再設定により、純金利マージン(NIM)は20ベーシスポイント上昇し、2.47%となりました。同行は、業務効率化とAI導入により、コスト収益率を前年同期比210ベーシスポイント改善し、46.5%とする規律あるコスト管理を実現しました。経営陣は2026年の収益見通しを172億~176億ポンドの範囲の上限に引き上げましたが、これは年末まで持続的な勢いが続くことを前提としています。信用リスクは引き続き抑制されており、減損損失は2億8300万ポンド(貸倒損失率26ベーシスポイント)で、経済の不確実性を反映しています。一方、CET1比率は堅調な資本形成により30ベーシスポイント上昇し、14.3%となりました。マクロ経済の不確実性を考慮すると、上方修正された見通しは達成可能ではあるものの、確定したものではないと見ています。これは、構造的なヘッジ収益の継続的な成長と力強い貸出の勢いによって支えられています。
