Q2FY19 results highlights
Valuation and view:
With loan growth driven by LAP and developer loans rather than core retail loans we view this result as weak. We view the strong growth in developer loans as a big negative as the real estate sector is currently under stress following the liquidity crunch at NBFCs and LICHF’s own asset quality historical performance of the developer book has been weaker than peers. We believe spreads will fall in 2H even with lagged asset repricing as cost of funds is likely to rise faster than yields. Also, the increase in cost of funds and decline in spreads could be sharper in 1QFY20E once the lagged repricing of loans is exhausted. We cut target multiple to 1.4x and TP to Rs490. After the steep price correction, downside is limited. As such we maintain Neutral, but we do not see any positive triggers.
