HDFC Securities' research report on Bank of Baroda
BOB’s 4Q results vindicate our thesis of steady mend. As expected, operational performance witnessed improvement, with sequential loan growth (+9.5%), NIM expansion (despite interest reversals on SDR and S4A) and strong core PPOP growth (+33% QoQ).
Outlook
Lower stressed assets (incl. 5:25 and SDR), best-in-class PCR, healthy CRAR and management’s focus on profitable growth will drive return ratios (+39bps to 0.59% by FY19). Our conservative estimates on slippages and LLP provide upside risk. Maintain BUY with a TP of Rs 220 (1.4x Mar-18 ABV of Rs 157).
