Historical Price

During the first quarter of 2011, Grupo Aval banks achieved financial results in line with or above our estimates in terms of profitability. In particular, both Banco Occidente and Banco Popular reported returns on equity that exceeded our projections. In this regard, our target price remains unchanged for the year-end at COP1,360. We reiterate our investment theory that Grupo Aval's stock is an attractive alternative for local financial sector exposure for medium and long term structural portfolios. However, its short term upside potential is moderate with respect to our base valuation.

The Group's banks (the financial conglomerate’s main asset) showed strong operating performance in the first quarter by posting portfolio growth rates that were similar or higher than the Colombian banking sector as a whole1. Particularly, Banco de Bogotá (50% of the holding according to our valuation) had a 23.6% annual increase in its loan portfolio, while Banco Occidente and Banco Popular had increases of 49.8% and 26.43% respectively. These figures confirm the positive activity in loan placement by Aval entities.

The growth in loan placements did not cause deterioration in asset quality indicators or solvency levels. On average, in March 2011 the indicator for expired portfolio and leasing/gross portfolio and leasing for the Group's banks was 2.84%, slightly lower than the banking sector average of 2.94%. Likewise, the solvency ratio of Aval banks was 13.10%, well above the regulatory minimum of 9% and higher than the 12.7% recorded a year ago. Within our balance of risk analysis and as the main limiting factor, we draw attention to the country’s macroeconomic performance being lower than Grupo Bancolombia’s estimates. Similarly, the impact of the rainy and flooding season on variables such as output growth and inflation could impair the payment ability of some agents.

On the positive side, we highlight the potential issue of Aval shares on the New York Stock Exchange (in the form of ADRs) and the exploitation of synergies generated by the recent acquisition of the Central American bank, Credomatic. However, to date the issuer has not officially commented on any of these situations. Finally, with regard to comparable group multiples analysis, Grupo Aval continues to show increases relative to other Latin American and Colombian banks.
