SME segment likely to bolster Public Bank

HLIB Research noted continued growth in wealth management and bancassurance should support Public Bank’s fee income diversification.

PETALING JAYA: Analysts generally expect Public Bank Bhd to sustain its loan growth momentum, supported by resilient domestic demand and continued expansion in the small and medium entreprise (SME) segment.

The banking group’s management also projects the financial year 2026 (FY26) loan growth to exceed its initial 4% to 5% target, underpinned by stronger commercial lending activities.
