Q2FY20 result highlights
Valuation and view
With credit cost likely to fall to 1.2% in FY20, higher loan growth, improving asset quality and stable NIMs, we see a sharp turnaround in earnings. We expect standalone RoE of 15% by FY21. Mgmt has reiterated consolidated RoE guidance of 15% by June 2020 (versus 4% in 2Q). Acceleration in earnings, strong CAR and a high PCR will drive the stock’s re-rating. While management has guided that the BB book could increase, ICICI Bank’s name does not figure as a lender to most of the companies that have been downgraded since April, which is comforting. We cut FY20 earnings to account for DTA markdown, higher opex, higher NIMs and higher fees. We also tweaked our earnings for FY21E. We are marginally increasing our TP to Rs550 from Rs525 as we increase our core PBV multiple to 2.2x from 2x earlier.
