CIMB: Future Returns Will Reflect Margin Discipline And Special Dividend Execution

Narrative Update on CIMB Group Holdings Berhad Analysts have made a small upward adjustment to their price target for CIMB Group Holdings Berhad, reflecting slightly higher assessed fair value and modest tweaks to assumptions around discount rate, revenue growth, profit margin and future P/E, similar in spirit to recent Street research where a peer's target was trimmed, such as the move to $15.50 from $16 at UBS on Chimera.
