Neutral

$23.60

8.31%

Following a further review of Westpac's largely in-line FY23 results, Citi raises its target price to $23.60 from $21.80 in anticipation of management's simplification agenda bearing fruit. Neutral is retained given the strategy's execution risk.

Yesterday's summary of the broker's initial take on the results is as follows:

Westpac's FY23 report narrowly missed market consensus (by between -0.5%-1.5%) but slightly beat its own forecasts.

The "surprise" seems to find its origin in Citi making a more downbeat call on operational costs, which has proved to be too bearish, on the analysts' own admission.

Bad debts of $648m were well below the estimated $900m, with asset quality continuing to be benign, the analysts highlight. They predict the post release conference call will focus on the outlook for costs.

FORECAST
Citi forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 144.00 cents and EPS of 185.10 cents.
Citi forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 147.00 cents and EPS of 196.10 cents.
