Consequently the loan mix was noted at SME segment (60%), Two Wheeler (18.2%), Loan against gold (9.2%) and Others (12.6%).

Outlook

We expect the return ratios to improve going forward with credit quality expected to be maintained at current levels (aided by uniform underwriting practices) and cut down in opex by employee reduction. However, due to increase in cost of funds, near term pressures remain on NIMs and disbursement growth. The stock is currently trading at 1.3X P/ABV of FY21E. We give the stock a BUY rating with a target price of INR 2,000, assigning a P/ABV of 1.5X on FY21E.
