Investment Rationale
While FY20-22E will always be looked upon as years of consolidation for PNBHF, the brokerage expects the company to start growing its loan book by 5-10% YoY from FY23E onwards. While it could claim to have front-loaded most of the provisions due to any contingencies that could arise from COVID-19, the brokerage expects that its credit cost will continue to remain elevated at ~1.5% in FY22E as well. It has not factored in an equity capital raise in estimates as yet and would do so once there is more clarity on the issue post the SAT judgment. In the near-term, it expects PNBHF to deliver 10-12% RoE in FY22E/FY23E. However, asset quality risks from any newer COVID-19 waves persist.
