Geojit's research report on Ujjivan Financial Services
Higher NPA provisions & subdued business led to Rs-70cr loss in Q1FY18 on flat revenue growth. GNPA and NNPA increased by 247bps and 227bps QoQ to 6.2% & 2.3% respectively in Q1FY18, post demonetisation dispensation. Loan growth was tepid at 10% YoY as management remained conservative on disbursements due to repayment risks prevailing in select markets. Factoring higher provisions and moderation in loan growth we downgrade our FY18E earnings by 80%. Headwinds amid transition to SFB will impact earnings in the medium term, while a full fledged SFB adds long term growth visibility. We maintain our valuation of 2.5x FY19E Adj.BV and recommend Buy with a revised target price of Rs391.
Outlook
Headwinds during transition to SFB from demonetisation will impact earnings in the medium term, while long term growth visibility from a full fledged SFB is supporting the valuations. We retain our target valuation to 2.5x FY19E Adj.BV and recommend Buy with a revised target price of Rs391.
