NatWest Preferred Over Lloyds Due to Motor Finance Exposure -- Market Talk

1120 GMT - NatWest is more geared to falling interest rates than peer Lloyds Banking Group but isn't as exposed to the motor finance issue, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods say in a research note. The broker changes its preference and names lender NatWest as its top pick after its strong third-quarter results, replacing Lloyds. Lloyds is exposed to a highly uncertain liability from a probe into commission agreements in the motor finance sector. This could amount to between 3% and 15% of Lloyds' market capitalization, with limited clarity before mid-2025, analyst Edward Firth estimates. Besides this, KBW remains positive on incumbent U.K. domestic retail banks. It raises its rating on NatWest to outperform from market perform and its target price to 440 pence from 350 pence. Shares rise 2.9% to 386.3 pence. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
