Investment Rationale
FB posted a sharp increase in its loan base, which is expected to be driven by healthy growth in its retail asset portfolio (led by gold loans). Deposit traction came in robust, while the bank’s liability franchise remains strong, with a retail deposit mix of over 90%. Thus, low cost of funds –coupled with an uptick in loan growth and the sequential deployment of liquidity – is likely to keep margins steady. On the asset quality front, proforma PCR stood healthy at ~66%, while the restructuring book was controlled at ~1.3%; this would keep the asset quality steady. Nevertheless, the brokerage expects credit cost to remain higher in the near term.
