Outlook
However, we conservatively factor in higher credit cost of 100bp/80bp for FY20/21 due to our concerns on prevailing economic slowdown and elevated stress in select lending segments. The clarity on management succession is going to be critical though we nevertheless estimate FY20/21 RoA of 1.9%/2.1%, buoyed by merger with BHAFIN. We value the stock at INR1,830 based on 2.8x FY21E BV.
