Judo Capital Holdings Limited, known as Judo Bank, provided an update on its financial performance for FY26. The bank's cost of risk is projected to be between $116 million and $122 million due to increased specific provisions across three sectors. The 90-days-past-due and impaired loans are expected to be around 3% of gross loans and advances (GLA) as of June 30, 2026. Judo has maintained lending momentum with GLA surpassing $14.4 billion and is expected to reach between $14.6 billion and $14.7 billion by the end of FY26. The net interest margin for the second half of FY26 is anticipated to exceed 3.2%, benefiting from favorable term deposit costs. Judo has managed operating costs prudently, with a cost-to-income ratio for the second half of the fiscal year predicted to be lower than the first half's 48.5%. Profit before tax for FY26 is expected to grow by 30% from FY25, estimated between $163 million and $169 million. Looking forward, FY27's profit before tax is projected to range between $210 million and $220 million, demonstrating strong growth despite economic uncertainties.
