  1. Total Depoists for Q1 FY20 is Rs.5.4 Lakh out of which, around 80% deposits accounts to CASA and Retail Term Deposits(RTDs). It is really a positive sign for the bank.
    • Savings deposits and RTDs are comparatively sticky kind of deposits maintained with the bank. It can be a poistive sign for the bank.
    • On further break-up of CASA, savings accounts contributes to 1.47 Lakh Cr and current account contributes to around Rs.68,777 Cr. While, RTDs contribute to 2.07 Lakh Cr.

  2. Advances for Q1 FY20 are Rs.4,97,276 Cr out of which around 52% advances are retail type and SME contributes 12% advance book. So total 64% of the total advances are retail advances, which reduces the risk of future NPAs numbers.

3. Net Interest Margin (NIM)

The average cost of funds of CASA, RTDs etc is around 5.7% by weightage average. While Net interest margin is 3.56%. Bank is targeting NIM to be above 4%.

  • After releasing the results, total market cap of the bank falled to Rs.1.85 lakh Cr and PE ratio is corrected to 34 from 40 earlier.
  • The expected average quarterly profit is around Rs.1500 Cr with the total Rs.6,000 Cr for next two quarter the trailing 12-months. If the same expectation would be continues to meet by the bank, then the stock will be at PE ratio 30 according to the current valuations.
  • We dont find the stock to be undervalued by any means. The constantly raising provisioning numbers are the only point of concern for the bank. Otherwise there is improvement in overall performance of the bank. All the risky assets are covered very well by the bank.
