Source: Bloomberg, Data as of October 14, 2020 SECTOR OVERVIEW – Banking . Activity improving sequentially but benefits not broad based: The key indicators of growth have seen improvements but are not broad based. The banks share of incremental participation in investments in G-Sec and bonds is higher than credit outlay supported by targeted lending as risk aversion remained high. The pressure on NIMs is likely to ease as liquidity eases and credit offtake is more pronounced. We expect the banks to focus on restructuring in Q2 and most part of Q3, but the credit costs are likely to remain front ended and elevated. System advances growing at ~6% YoY in August, but growth concentrated towards larger players: The system advances have grown at 6% YoY in August 2020 (Source: RBI), driven by NBFCs, MFIs, Housing, durables and government supported segments. We expect the higher proportion of growth to be concentrated with larger banks/players. Moreover the share of investment driven lending is higher as corporate prefer market borrowings. We believe the funding costs is likely to play a major determinant in advance growth expansion, despite favourable Credit-Deposit (C-D) ratios. As disclosed, HDFC Bank, HDFC and Bandhan Bank have clocked robust growth, whereas IndusInd Bank among others are lagging. Similarly, we expect ICICI, Axis and SBI to grow at a satisfactory pace while KMB is likely to remain sluggish. Advances for our coverage is expected to grow at 8.37% YoY. Flexibility in Funding costs is now key factor for the bank’s operating performance: We believe the ability to lower its deposit and funding cost without losing its deposit franchise meaningfully is expected to remain a key determinant for management of NIMs as the sharer of low yielding loans rise in the book. We like HDFC, HDFC Bank, Kotak and SBI among these. The CASA of Bandhan is also witnessing an improvement. However, IndusInd Bank is likely to face a double threat of sticky costs and lower share of high yielding loans. Overall deposits for banks under our coverage is expected to grow 16.2% YoY. Restructuring underway, credit costs front ended: We believe the banks are likely to focus on restructuring for the current quarter. We therefore expect lower accretions to bad assets. However, banks are likely to front end credit costs as required by RBI regulations. However, the credit costs for the quarter are bank specific. We expect Axis, SBI, KMB, Bandhan, to maintain the relatively elevated provisions, in line with previous two quarter. However, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank have front ended a larger part of their provisions last quarter. Valuation less than historic, rerating company specific: The sector is the most sold off sector since the pandemic. Except marquee names such as HDFC bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank, most banks are trading at P/B lower than historic (30-50% discount). This has been on account of the systemic stress related, unfavourable macros and importantly company specific issues. We believe weak company specific issues are likely to persist as they cautiously tide over turbulent waters. However, the larger banks are expected to fare well by improving the market share and operating performance, enabling further rerating. We like HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Bandhan Bank and SBI.
