He said the projection reflects the group’s balanced approach to asset expansion across its key markets, taking into account the relative size of its operations in each country. “In Malaysia, where we are a large player, growth will likely track GDP. But we are not necessarily fixated on a certain loan market, more importantly for us is how […]

Paragon Banking Group reports solid Q3 with loan and deposit growth Investing.com -- Paragon Banking Group (LON:PAG) on Tuesday delivered a solid third quarter for 2025, adding 1.1% to its loan book and 1.5% to deposits, while maintaining most of its full-year guidance. The bank now expects its full-year mortgage advances to be at the lower end of its previous guidance, targeting gross flow of approximately £1.6 billion for fiscal year 2025, compared to the previous range of £1.6-1.8 billion. Despite this adjustment, the projected figure would still imply around £800 million in the second half of 2025, a similar run-rate to the first half and representing a pickup in the fourth quarter compared to Q3. Net of redemptions and internal retentions, Paragon saw 1.1% growth across its loan book in Q3, bringing the year-to-date total to 2.9%. This puts the bank on track to achieve approximately 4% growth for the full year, broadly in line with consensus expectations. The company reported that its development finance book "continues to generate impairment requirements," though no new cases entered default in Q3. The additional impairments primarily came from increased coverage rather than new defaults. The bank maintained its full-year net interest margin guidance of over 3.0% for fiscal year 2025, while costs are still expected to be less than £185 million.

Huntington Bancshares lifts 2025 interest income forecast as loan growth shines (Reuters) -Regional lender Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ:HBAN) on Friday raised its annual interest income forecast, betting on robust loan growth and lower deposit costs. The Columbus (WA:CLC), Ohio-based Huntington has delivered strong growth in its core businesses and expanded to North and South Carolinas and Texas in recent years, despite high interest rates squeezing loan demand for regional banks. Rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve last year have also allowed banks to reduce deposit costs. The bank now expects net interest income (NII) - the difference between what it earns on loans and pays out on deposits - to grow between 8% and 9% in 2025, compared with its prior forecast of 5% and 7% rise. Annual loan growth is expected between 6% and 8%, higher than its prior forecast of 5% to 7% rise. NII jumped 12% to $1.47 billion in the second quarter, putting the bank on track for a record full-year interest income. Average total loans and leases grew $9.8 billion from the year-ago quarter. Huntington’s profit per share rose to 34 cents in the quarter ending June 30, from 30 cents a year earlier. On Monday, Huntington struck a $1.9 billion deal for rival Veritex (NASDAQ:VBTX), furthering its Texas push. BOND PORTFOLIO REJIG Months after a similar move, Huntington rejigged a portion of its securities portfolio to boost profits, as banks increasingly dump lower-yielding securities. Huntington sold $900 million of corporate bonds in the quarter and reinvested proceeds into higher-yielding securities, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $58 million. The rejig is expected to boost revenue and interest margin in the second half of the year and into 2026, with Huntington picking up about 340 basis points of yield on the trade.

Wells Fargo CFO expects muted consumer loan growth for 2024 Investing.com -- Wells Fargo’s Chief Financial Officer Mike Santomassimo said consumer loan growth will likely remain muted for the rest of the year and might even decline. "I wouldn’t expect large growth on the consumer side in any way, potentially even a net decline," Santomassimo told investors at a conference on Tuesday. He added that commercial loan growth was harder to predict due to uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariff policies. The CFO’s comments came shortly after the Federal Reserve lifted a seven-year, $1.95 trillion asset cap that had been imposed on Wells Fargo as punishment following its fake accounts scandal. Despite broader economic challenges, Santomassimo noted some positive signs in dealmaking activities. "We are starting to see a little bit of share growth" in investment banking, he said. "We are certainly seeing lots of green shoots in terms of deals that we just wouldn’t have been a part of earlier." This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor.

Wells Fargo says consumer loan growth to stay muted or drop this year NEW YORK (Reuters) -Wells Fargo’s Chief Financial Officer Mike Santomassimo said consumer loan growth is likely to remain muted for the rest of the year and could potentially slide. "I wouldn’t expect large growth on the consumer side in any way, potentially even a net decline," Santomassimo told investors at a conference on Tuesday. It was a bit more difficult to predict growth in commercial loans, given uncertainty over U.S. tariff policies. The CFO spoke days after the Federal Reserve released Wells Fargo from a seven-year, $1.95 trillion cap on its assets imposed as a punishment in the wake of the bank’s fake accounts scandal. The lender plans to focus on growing most of its businesses, including credit cards, investment banking, wealth management and commercial banking, CEO Charlie Scharf told Reuters in an interview last week. It is also seeing signs of improvement in dealmaking, Santomassimo said. "We are starting to see a little bit of share growth" in investment banking, he said. "We are certainly seeing lots of green shoots in terms of deals that we just wouldn’t have been a part of earlier." Dealmaking has slowed this year as U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff and fiscal policies roiled markets, fueling economic uncertainty. Still, bank executives have expressed optimism about a resurgence. Citigroup (NYSE:C)’s head of banking Vis Raghavan told the same conference that discussions for mergers and acquisitions continue to be "super active."
