We examined, carefully, the PSU banking space, taking a comprehensive look at as many as 8 key banks in this specific space. Upon our analysis, we found the thesis around Indian Bank (INBK) interesting and we initiate coverage with a BUY rating. We like INBK on account of the following reasons: (1) INBK has a superior growth profile compared with key PSU bank peers (2) INBK has several loan segments of healthy yield, whose share in loan book can inch up going forward, providing fillip to NIM (3) Headline asset quality metrics, admittedly, do not make for a good reading but we think asset quality is at an inflection point.
OutlookWe assign a BUY rating on INBK with a price target of Rs 188.
