It is difficult to follow every stock on FTSE 100. I just took a look at Carted Standard (LSE: Stan) from time to time, as it turned out, I missed a lot. But can the wonderful performance of the bank that focuses on Asia?

Standard Charterd increased by 98 % last year, and its shares increased by 246 % over a period of two years, with profit distributions. He had two stars 2024, with the results of the entire year, published in February, indicating a 18 % jump in pre -tax profit to $ 6 billion.

The share price won another batch of results last week for 2025 last week, published on July 31. This increase revealed 26 % in pre -tax profits to $ 4.38 billion, and the development of former analysts’ expectations of $ 3.83 billion.

Arrows destroy them

The bank has also announced a $ 1.3 billion shares and increased its temporary profits by 37 % to 12.3 cents in the United States for the share. CEO Bill Winters praised a “Strong performance in the first half” Patured with a focus on cross -border and rich banking services.

Analysts raised their expectations as a result, as Shore Capital estimated the fair value of 1,270 pixels to 1355 pixels. This is already less than the price of today’s 1,383 points, indicating that the stock may have managed its course at the present time.

The beach is not the only analyst that suggests that stocks have gone as far as possible. The number of 15 analysts who provide prices for a year is moderate expectations of about 1,342 pixels. This means a small decline of about 3 % of the current levels. These estimates are likely to do 11 % of the 11 % increase during the past month, but make sure that the pleasure may have ended now.

Ftse 100 banks are all flying

I say Standard Charted is ignored, but it is clear that some investors have noticed it. What I really mean is that large banks are 100 like Barclaysand Natwist Group and Lloyds Banking Group It tends to control the investor’s attention. For those looking for Asia’s exposure, HSBC Holdings It tends to seize the lights.

All major banks have enjoyed a large reclaim in recent years. I personally hold Lloyds. Although he is a little late, partly due to the scandal of selling engines, I barely complain.

For income researchers, HSBC, LLOYDS and Natwst offer attractive excessive returns of 5.23 %, 4.11 % and 4.78 %, respectively. Standard Chartrid is about 2 %.

Expectations are positive, but banks carry risks. The deep exposure to the deep Asia of Standard Charted, especially for China, leaves it vulnerable to the exacerbation of trade tensions with the United States. The Chinese economy faces the structural challenges that have nothing to do with geopolitical competition, although this did not burden Standard Charchen last year.

This stock can slow down

Donald Trump’s graphics can also have an effect, as it reaches global growth and client activity. On the other hand, banks that focus on the UK face local challenges. Regardless of their workplace, banks must move in risk.

Despite the strong tour, I think Standard Charted is still worth considering long -term investors who want to be exposed to the Asia Banking Market. It still seems decent value, as the price rate to the profits is about 11. However, I think that after recovery at the level of abundant sector, things will stabilize a little now.
