Investment Rationale
ICICI Bank reported a strong earnings performance, led by robust core PPOP performance and controlled provisions. The steady mix of high yielding portfolio such as Retail/Business banking portfolio, deployment of excess liquidity, and low cost liability franchise is aiding margin expansion. COVID 2.0 has disrupted collections, leading to elevated slippages in the Retail/Business Banking portfolio. However, the management is confident of improved asset quality trends over FY22, mainly from 2H onwards. Restructured loans remain under control at 0.7% of loans. Provision coverage remains best in the industry and additional COVID-19 provision buffer (0.9% of loans) provides comfort on normalization in credit cost. It expects RoA/RoE to improve to 1.8%/15.3% for FY23E.
