Equitas Holdings: Reassessing risk in the portfolio; Doing the right things; near-term pain for long-term gain

-Identifying potential risks early on, EQUITAS is prudently moderating exposure in micro finance (MFI) segment by reducing share of MFI to ~30% of loans (~50% in 9MFY17). It has narrowed timeline for meeting this target to 2018 v/s 2020 earlier.

-Strong growth in secured products like micro LAP, vehicle finance, and newly launched products like housing, business, gold and agri-loans will drive ~20% AUM growth in FY18 (30% earlier), despite 15-20% decline in the MFI portfolio.

-Recalibration of liability side, improving CoF and increasing cross-sell and fee income opportunity are positive triggers for EQUITAS over the long term.

-We like EQUITAS focus on diversification, strong growth visibility, prudent risk management practices and pristine management team. We reiterate Buy with a TP of INR220 (2.7x FY19E BV).
