Bulls say / Bears say

Valiant grew first-half net profit by 3.4% to CHF75.9 million, while customer loans and deposits increased 1.9% and 2.1% respectively. It expects a slightly higher full-year profit, suggesting steady underlying demand despite the low-rate environment. (Presseportal, MarketScreener)
Fee income rose 7.7% in the first half, with securities and investment commissions particularly strong. This supports Valiant’s Valiant 2029 plan to diversify revenue beyond interest income and gives growth in wealth-related services a larger role. (Presseportal, Allnews)
Capital strength gives shareholders a tangible return case: the total capital ratio was 17.0%, the dividend was raised to CHF6.00, and a share buyback of up to CHF75 million over three years began in June. The buyback also helps keep capital within the bank’s targeted range. (MarketScreener, Presseportal)
Net interest income fell 1.2% in the first half as the prolonged zero-rate environment weighed on the bank’s core lending business. That leaves Valiant reliant on faster growth in fee income to offset pressure on its main revenue stream. (MarketScreener, MarketScreener)
Operating costs rose 1.4% in the first half, partly because of investment in digitalisation and employee initiatives. The planned efficiency programme still has to deliver at least CHF15 million of savings and reduce the workforce by 80 full-time roles by 2028. (MarketScreener, Allnews)
Profit growth has been modest and has not consistently met expectations: first-quarter profit disappointed analysts and the shares fell sharply, while the first-half net profit was also below the average forecast. Management still guides only to a slightly higher 2026 profit. (Finews, MarketScreener)
