Banca Sistema’s (BST) Q3 results showed continued growth in its main trade receivables financing and salary and pension-backed loan activities. Reported profits were augmented by a higher accrual rate for late payment interest but, excluding the element relating to prior years, BST still targets an ROAE of 20% for FY17. Given this and the potential for continued growth, the valuation in terms of price to book and multiples of our reduced earnings estimates appears very cautious.
