FINANCIALS: ABN Amro; Low Expectations, Good Results, Guidance Up. Positive.

FINANCIALS

ABN Amro (ABNANV: Baa1/BBB/A) results headlines appear positive with a 16% pre-tax beat from (mainly) better loan losses but also revenues and costs better than expected. FY24 NII guidance is raised. Spreads have underperformed since last results (and over recent volatility events) such that expectations appeared relatively low. We see this as a positive spread opportunity.
