NAB's Leading Business Lending Role
- NAB is Australia's number one business bank with a leading 20% market share in business lending and 30% in SMEs.
- It generates most income through net interest income and offers services in retail, digital banking, and corporate institutional banking.
NAB's Income Strength and Stability
- NAB's strong business lending franchise delivers higher-margin income that is less sensitive to rate cuts than retail banking.
- Its sound capital base supports dividend sustainability, yielding 5% fully franked returns, appealing to income-focused investors.
NAB's Competitive and Margin Pressures
- NAB faces rising competition from peers like CBA and Westpac in business lending, shrinking its market share.
- Higher funding costs, aggressive mortgage repricing, and increased credit risk from SME exposure put pressure on margins and earnings growth.
