What the Analysts think about STAN

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Standard Chartered stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Standard Chartered posted a 26% increase in first-half pretax profit to $4.38 billion, beating analyst expectations thanks to strong performance in wealth management, markets, and global banking, and reflecting effective execution of its cross-border strategy.
The bank unveiled a $1.3 billion share buyback along with a 37% increase in interim dividend to 12.3 cents per share, highlighting robust capital generation and a solid CET1 ratio of 14.3% that underpins returns to shareholders.
A strategic partnership with crypto prime broker FalconX will expand Standard Chartered’s digital asset services for institutional clients from Singapore across Asia, the Middle East, and the U.S., strengthening its position to benefit from rising demand in digital finance.
Underlying net interest income dropped 4% year-on-year in the second quarter, reflecting ongoing margin pressure in the current interest rate environment and constraining revenue growth from lending operations.
Fitch Ratings expects Indian banks’ net interest margins to shrink by 10 basis points in FY2025-26 following RBI rate cuts, a trend that could hurt Standard Chartered’s margin income given its sizeable business in India.
Standard Chartered recorded a first-half credit impairment charge of $336 million, mainly from its wealth management and retail banking segments, indicating rising asset quality risks particularly in unsecured and partnership lending.
