Motilal Oswal has a neutral call on with a target price of Rs 400. The current market price of PNB Housing Finance is Rs 379.55.

PNB Housing Finance Ltd, incorporated in the year 1988, is a Mid Cap company with a market cap of Rs 6342.87 Crore, operating in NBFC sector.

PNB Housing Finance's key Products/Revenue Segments include Interest, Income From Financial Services, Fees & Commission Income, Income From Sale Of Share & Securities and Dividend for the year ending 31-Mar-2020.

Investment Rationale
According to Motilal Oswal, over the past year, the company has consciously slowed its loan growth and focused on higher down-selling to address the issue of high leverage. Leverage has now fallen to levels of ~7x and the decline is likely to continue. From FY23, the company would be in a position to grow its loan book by 9–11 per cent YoY, said Motilal Oswal. It has front-loaded most of the asset quality-related pains. Hence, Motilal increases its FY22E EPS estimates by 17 per cent to factor in lower provisions. The company should deliver 14–15 per cent RoE in FY22E/FY23E; however, asset quality risks from the second wave of the pandemic persist. Therefore, Motilal maintains a neutral call, with a target price of Rs 400/share (0.6x FY23E BVPS).

Company has reported net profit after tax of Rs 127.03 Crore in latest quarter.
