MOSL: GRUH FINANCE (Neutral)-Steady quarter

Gruh Finance: Steady quarter

(GRHF IN, Mkt Cap USD3.8b, CMP INR592, TP INR540, 9% Downside, Neutral)

  • Gruh Finance’s (GRHF) PAT rose 28.3% YoY to INR822m (in-line) in 3QFY18. The quarter was characterized by a strong pick-up in disbursement growth (due to a lower base), stable margins and good asset quality.
  • Loan growth was in line with trend at 18% YoY, driven by retail home loans. However, disbursement growth was robust at 37% YoY – a pleasant surprise – led by home loans and LAP. Developer loan disbursements were largely in line with trend.
  • Interestingly, GRHF was able to sustain yields at 11.8% (same for the past three quarters), despite a very competitive environment. Cost of funds witnessed a minor uptick (+7bp QoQ), mainly due to a rise in GSec yields.
  • Asset quality was stable, with GNPL/NNPL ratio of 73bp/7bp. However, there was an 11/18bp QoQ/YoY rise in the GNPL ratio of home loans.
  • While capital adequacy is sufficient at the moment, GRHF might look to raise capital a year or so later if loan demand picks up.
