Goldman Sachs analysts upgraded Banco Santander-Chile (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSAC#NYSE">BSAC</a>) from Sell to Neutral, citing Chile as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/08/40441573/bhp-averts-strike-at-worlds-largest-copper-mine-stabilizes-chinese-copper-supply">an ideal place to do business</a> for Andean banks.
Goldman Sachs&#8217; Tito Labarta expects &#8220;strong earnings momentum at the bank in the medium term&#8221; and expects its EPS to grow 24% on average for the period from 2023 to the end of 2026 after profits fell sharply in 2023.
&#8220;The macro scenario in Chile also screens favorably when compared to the other Andean banks in our coverage, with better industry loan growth and significantly lower delinquency ratios,&#8221; Labarta said in a note.
Goldman Sachs maintains a price target of $21 on Banco Santander-Chile and expects the bank&#8217;s return on equity to rebound to 17.2% in 2024 and 18.5% in 2025 from 11.7% in 2023.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs downgraded Bancolombia S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIB#NYSE">CIB</a>) from Neutral to Sell. The firm expects &#8220;the weak earnings momentum to continue in the medium term&#8221; due to easing cycle pressures on net interest margin due to Colombia&#8217;s economy.
&#8220;Loan growth in Colombia is muted, negatively pressured by a still high level of interest rates and resilient inflation,&#8221; Labarta said.&nbsp;
&#8220;Moreover, the still high inflation and interest rate environment could hinder loan growth in the medium term and indicate that the credit cycle has not yet peaked.&#8221;
He also forecasted that the bank&#8217;s profitability should keep falling through 2025 and 2026 to 14.3% and 13.5%, respectively, staying in-line with Bancolombia's cost of equity of 13.8% but well below its pre-pandemic average of 19.2%. 
Price Action: Banco Santander-Chile gained 1.17% to $20.75 as of Tuesday&#8217;s mid-afternoon trading, while Bancolombia fell 4.57% to $33.20.

Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/db#NYSE">DB</a>) benefits from a strong balance sheet position and revenue growth. Its strong liquidity profile aids sustainable capital distribution activities. However, a rise in expenses and a deterioration in credit quality are concerning.
Deutsche Bank continues to benefit from its deposit balance. The metric has witnessed a 2% CAGR over the last five years (ending in 2023) and the trend continued in the first quarter of 2024. Furthermore, the bank benefits from a diverse deposit base that spans multiple client categories and geographic regions. Also, as of Mar 31, 2024, the company&#39;s loan-to-deposit ratio was 75.7%, indicating a robust and steady capital foundation. We believe that a stable deposit level will benefit its balance sheet.
DB remains focused on strengthening its capital position. As of Mar 31, 2024, the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1) ratio was 13.4%. Risk-weighted asset (RWA) reductions and strong organic capital generation enabled the bank to see improvement in the CET1 ratio. As of Mar 31, 2024, &euro;15 billion of RWA reductions have been achieved, out of the target to reach &euro;25-30 billion in reductions by 2025-end. It expects to maintain a CET 1 ratio of approximately 13% by 2025.
Net revenues recorded a CAGR of 2.7% over the last five years (ended 2023), with this upswing persisting in the first quarter of 2024. Management is shifting focus from investment banking to more stable and capital-light businesses, like private bank, corporate bank and asset management units.
Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have gained 20% on the NYSE over the past three months compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 10.8%.

The bank has seen a deterioration in its credit quality. Its provision for credit losses witnessed a CAGR of 23.4% over the last five years (ended 2023), with the rising trend continuing in the first quarter of 2024. The current volatile economic backdrop is expected to affect credit quality in the near term. We project provisions to be &euro;1.67 billion and &euro;3.91 billion in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Due to the nature of its business, Deutsche Bank is involved in litigation, arbitration and regulatory processes in Germany as well as a number of other jurisdictions. The bank has already incurred considerable legal settlement fees, which have had a negative impact on its finances.

Deutsche Bank's Deposit Base Aids, Low Credit Quality Ails

Ita&uacute; Unibanco Holding S.A. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/itub#NYSE">ITUB</a>) has announced a corporate internal restructuring plan. This will include the merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hipercard Banco M&uacute;ltiplo S.A. (&quot;Hipercard&quot;), subject to approval from the Central Bank of Brazil. The cost associated with executing and implementing the transaction is estimated to be approximately R$180,000 ($34,843). 
As part of the effort, all activities currently managed by Hipercard, including the administration of bank cards, will be transferred to Ita&uacute; Unibanco. The primary purpose of this merger is to achieve greater synergy among the companies and activities of the ITUB conglomerate. This will help streamline costs and enhance efficiency. 
Following the completion of the transaction, Hipercard will be dissolved as an entity and its assets will be taken over by ITUB. This will lead to a reduction in maintenance costs, rationalization in administrative and commercial activities and an improvement in the overall corporate structure. 
Ita&uacute; Unibanco will take over Hipercard&#39;s equity worth R$2.68 billion ($518 million). The merger will not result in any increase in capital or the issuance of new shares of ITUB. There will be no exchange ratio. Also, rules relating to withdrawal rights for dissenting shareholders will not apply. Overall, the transaction will not have any financial impact on Ita&uacute; Unibanco. 
This strategic move highlights ITUB&#39;s ability to adapt to the trends of the rapidly evolving market and strengthen its competitive placement. Through such efforts, the company is well-poised to improve its market leadership and drive sustainable growth in the long run.
Over the past six months, the company&#39;s shares on the NYSE have lost 3.1% against the industry&#39;s growth of 14.4%.

Comerica Coping with Challenges: Bouncing Back with Steady Distribution and Decreasing Investor Rewards

Tuesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from BanColombia (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIB#NYSE">CIB</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 88.35 cents per share. On Wednesday, BanColombia will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 88.35 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Wednesday. Shareholders who own CIB as of the end of Tuesday's session are eligible to receive the 88.35 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on January 12, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
