    Financials
    For the quarter ended 30-06-2022, the company reported a Standalone Total Income of Rs 1672.60 Crore, up 3.58 % from last quarter Total Income of Rs 1614.75 Crore and up 4.80 % from last year same quarter Total Income of Rs 1595.93 Crore. The bank reported net profit after tax of Rs 228.75 Crore in latest quarter.


    Investment Rationale
    Credit cost at sub-1% for four successive quarters reflects superior portfolio quality. Considering SMA30+ / SMA-2 pool at 1% / 0.5% respectively and collections at >98% in Jun’22, credit cost in FY23E is likely to trend downward from FY22 levels. This would ensure that the improving RoA trajectory continues. Taking cognisance of the increased macroeconomic activity and KVB’s encouraging asset quality outlook, management has revised its FY23 credit growth guidance upward to 15% vs 12% earlier. The brokerage believes KVB’s upgraded digital platform, cost optimisation drive and gradual normalisation of credit cost would help sustain the improving RoA trajectory going forward from the current level of 1%. It maintains BUY with a revised target price of Rs80 as it rolls over estimates to Sep’23 BVPS, implying 0.8x P/BV on FY24E BVPS. Key risks: a) stress unfolding higher than anticipated, and b) moderation in credit growth.
