Bajaj Finance - Annual Report Update: Superior execution; New products showing healthy traction

  • Superior execution across products, focus to increase new growth/profit avenues (rural lending, housing finance companies (HFCs), cross-selling, etc.) and strong focus on asset quality are the key highlights of FY18 Annual Report (AR).
  • With the strong treasury management (move towards capital market linked borrowings/deposits), positive assets liability management (ALM) gap and with pricing power on the focused segments, BAF spreads are likely to be stable.
  • However, margins may moderate with the leverage on the balance sheet coming into play. Asset quality performance remains impeccable with GNPA of 1.48% and PCR of 75% (as of FY18).
  • On back of rich valuation, we reiterate Neutral with target price of INR2,400 - 6x PBV-Unchanged.
