Investment Rationale
IndusInd Bank (IIB), through a press release and conference call, has denied allegations regarding loan evergreening in Bharat Financial (BFIL) stating they are grossly inaccurate and baseless. While it reiterated its stance of a strong governance and control framework, MFI delinquency and credit cost behaviour will be keenly watched out. Another monitorable will be any management change at BFIL. Mr. MR Rao now acts as an advisor after stepping down from BFIL’s Non- Executive Vice-Chairmanship. Denying media reports regarding other BFIL exits, management stated it has not received any more senior management resignation for now. It also admits of some technical glitch in May’21 wherein loans were disbursed without customer consent, though was rectified expeditiously and now all loans are disbursed through biometric authorisation. This development may have an interim overhang, though the management maintains its guidance of i) 6-8% MFI credit cost in FY22, ii) 1.6-1.9% overall bank credit cost (excluding provision on Vodafone); and iii) 2-year loan growth target of 16-18%. Its ability to deliver >5% PPoP/loans, >1.8% RoAs and 15% RoEs remains intact. The brokerage maintains BUY with an unchanged target price of Rs1,420.
