SET: Looking at the Banking Sector with Low P/E

แปลอัตโนมัติจากต้นฉบับ · อ่านต้นฉบับ (English)

Currently, I see many banking stocks still trading at a P/E significantly lower than their average. Even though the overall economic outlook isn't very bright, if we look at the medium to long term, the NPL risk that was a major concern should gradually decrease due to various support measures.

The question is, in the current situation, what does a low P/E reflect? Is it an opportunity, or is the market seeing hidden risks that we might not yet perceive? What are the main factors that investors in this room believe are pressuring the banking sector's valuation? I'd like to hear your perspectives.

It's an interesting point on the P/E for banks. While NPL concerns might be easing slightly, the continued low interest rate environment and competition from non-banks could be keeping a lid on earnings growth expectations, which would naturally impact the multiples investors are willing to pay. Worth considering if the market is just pricing in slower long-term growth rather than an immediate hidden risk.
