NBK, Kuwait Finance, Commercial Bank Rated New ‘Sell’ at UBS

National Bank of Kuwait, the emirate’s biggest lender, Kuwait Finance House, and Commercial Bank of Kuwait were rated “sell” in new coverage at UBS AG.

“Falling asset prices spread like a sickness throughout an economy, damaging the banking system,” Dubai-based analyst Stephen Andrews wrote in a note to clients today. “The Kuwaiti banks face significant headwinds over the next 12 to 18 months.”

The analyst set a share-price estimate for NBK and Kuwait Finance House of 900 fils and for Commercial Bank of 650 fils.END
