Bandhan has created higher than the required provisions toward COVID19, which affected earnings, even as NII/PPoP growth held strong. Also, business growth was steady despite lockdown imposed in the last few days of Mar’20. On the asset quality front, higher write-offs have aided GNPA improvement. Management indicated 78% of the portfolio remains in the Green zone, while only ~6% is in the Red zone. We remain watchful of asset quality and expect credit cost trends to remain elevated in the near term even though management commentary has provided comfort. Maintain Buy.
The bank has demonstrated a strong track record in growing its balance sheet/earnings and maintained a robust market share/cost leadership with its low- cost DSC network. It has also deftly handled external events like demonetization/GST, wherein it restored the normal delinquency rate within three months. We estimate loan book/earnings CAGR of 26%/24% over FY20-22, driving industry leading RoA/RoE of 3.7%/23.4% for FY22. With its share of volatility, Bandhan Bank offers a great long-term investment opportunity as the stock has corrected significantly. Initiate with a Buy rating and TP of INR500 (3.8x Sep’21E BV)
Bandhan Bank’s robust business traction & customer acquisition is poised to continue post-merger. The bank continues to envision being a pan-India player and intends to leverage distribution network of both entity for cross selling. Given robust growth and superior asset quality, we remain positive on business growth as well profitability, along with steady asset quality. However, the recent situation in the north eastern state with substantial exposure and integration of Gruh Finance is seen keeping the growth trajectory moderate in the near term. Therefore, we downgrade our estimate marginally and expect earnings to grow at 26% CAGR in FY20-22E. Accordingly, we revise our target price to | 650/share, valuing the stock (post merger) at 19x FY22E EPS (4.5x FY22E BV). We maintain BUY rating.

We are upbeat on the future performance of the bank and expect bank will continue to outperform. We expect PAT to grow at CAGR of 28.5% during FY19-21E backed by superior return ratios (ROE ~22% and ROA ~4%) and strong visibility of credit growth. However, the rich valuations (4.6x FY20E & 3.8x FY21E ABV) coupled with the overhang pertaining to the reduction of promoter holding offer limited room for upside at current level. We maintain our Hold rating with a revised TP of Rs 528 based on 4x P/ABV to its FY21E.
We believe the merger is short-term negative due to high dilution but remains positive in the long run. However, given recent headwinds in home finance sector, balance sheet growth trajectory is seen getting impacted. Factoring in the risk, we lower our multiple to 26.5x FY21E EPS (Rs 24.5 per share). Subsequently, our target price is Rs 650 (earlier Rs 725). We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock.
We are lowering our FY20/21 revenue estimate downward by 2.7% and 2.4% respectively to factor immediate loss of revenue from Puducherry plant. However we believe that Strides can achieve a ~18% YoY growth in the US given good filing momentum and new launches. We are also adjusting our FY20/21 PAT estimate downward by 15% and 7% respectively to factor lower other income and muted profit share from JV/ Associates. We value Strides at 15x on FY21E EPS and downgrade the rating to Reduce from ‘Buy’ to factor uncertainty around the USFDA outcome as well as the Arrow exit deal.
Bandhan Bank’s Q4FY19 result was largely ahead of our estimate and shown great performance during the quarter. Strong NII growth led to improvement in margin. Higher other income growth, improvement in operating efficiency & best in class asset quality aids best return ratios. We expect growth momentum will continue and bank will outperform the industry going ahead. However, promoter stake reduction issue is likely to weigh on stock performance. We have a positive outlook on the stock. By using DDM (ROA: 3.8%, Ke: 15.2% and Dividend payout ratio: 8.9%-12.5%), we arrived at P/ABV multiple of 5.1(x) and valued the stock to its FY21E ABV of Rs 129 which ascribed a fair value of Rs 658 per share. We have “Hold” rating on the stock.
Robust growth, better margins and control on asset quality continue to remain strong attributes of the bank. Robust pace of customer acquisition and increase in ticket size bode well for future growth of micro loans. With respect to merger with Gruh Finance, the bank awaits approval from NCLT. Post merger basis, RoE of Bandhan Bank is expected at ~23.5% with RoA at 3.6% on an FY21E basis. We believe that though the merger is short-term negative due to high dilution, it will be positive from a longer term perspective on a core business basis. Given the pace of business growth, we revise our target price to Rs 725 per share (earlier Rs 575 per share), valuing the stock at 30x FY21E EPS of merged entity (Rs 24. 5 per share). Hence, we maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock.
