Chris Hallam has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that reflect both the strengths and potential risks associated with Shawbrook Group Plc. The company is recognized for its strong returns and growth potential as a specialist UK lender, particularly in the buy-to-let and SME sectors, supported by a digitally enabled platform. Shawbrook is expected to continue outperforming the broader UK lending market, achieving efficiency gains and maintaining a high return on tangible equity.
However, despite these positive aspects, Hallam points out potential risks that could impact Shawbrook’s performance. These include increased competition and concerns about asset quality, which could pose challenges to the company’s growth trajectory. Additionally, the current valuation of Shawbrook’s stock is considered fair, suggesting limited upside potential in the near term. Therefore, the Hold rating reflects a balanced view, acknowledging both the company’s promising growth prospects and the uncertainties it faces.
