We reiterate our BUY rating on MBB with TP lowered by 6% due to higher cost of equity, offering a total return of 40.2%, including dividend yield. H1 2018’s NIM stood at 4.5%, surpassing our previous forecast. If MBB can maintain its NIM at 4.5% for FY2018 (+30 bps YoY), we do not see downward pressure on our NII forecast despite loan growth being revised down to 15%, in line with the SBV’s quota.
