MOSL: INDIABULLS HOUSING FINANCE (Buy)-Continued strong growth

Indiabulls Housing Finance: Continued strong growth

(IHFL IN, Mkt Cap USD8.6b, CMP INR1379, TP INR1630, 18% Upside, Buy)

  • Indiabulls Housing Finance's (IHFL) core operating performance was robust, with strong AUM growth (+32% YoY) and stable reported spreads. We note of a one-time gain of INR7.68b due to the sale of 10% stake in Oak North Bank to GIC, Singapore.
  • AUM growth was in line with trend at 32% YoY to reach INR1.1t. This was driven by 43% YoY growth in disbursements to INR130b. Management is bullish on supply pick-up in the affordable housing space.
  • Despite competitive pressures, IHFL managed to hold reported spreads steady at 3.22% (vs. 3.25% in 2QFY18). Management continues to guide for book spreads of 3-3.25%. Incremental cost of funds is around 7.5%.
  • The share of home loans in the overall book inched up 100bp QoQ to 59%. With the share continuously inching up (to the target of 66% by FY20), we believe spread pressure will continue.
