0511 GMT - iFAST stands to benefit from Asia-Pacific's growing wealth management market, RHB Research's Syahril Hanafiah says in a report. According to research firm Mordor Intelligence, this market is expected to grow to US$41.8 trillion by 2031 from $29.6 trillion in 2026. Given the wealth management and digital banking company's asset-light model, its profit-before-tax margins will further expand as business scales up, the analyst says. Its U.K.-based digital bank's deposit base expansion is also translating into higher net revenue, thanks to its strategy to redeploy deposits into short-duration sovereign bonds and investment-grade corporate bonds. RHB Research initiates coverage of the stock with a buy rating and a target price of S$12.20. Shares are 1.4% lower at S$9.09. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
