MOSL: STATE BANK OF INDIA (Buy)-Earnings set to revive amidst uncertain macros; Risk-reward has turned favorable

STATE BANK OF INDIA: Earnings set to revive amidst uncertain macros; Risk-reward has turned favorable

(SBIN IN, Mkt Cap USD33.3b, CMP INR265, TP INR350, 32% Upside, Buy)

 

  • State Bank of India's (SBIN) earnings were suppressed for the past several years due to issues pertaining to asset quality, merger and an adverse rate environment. Even now, the macro environment remains challenging with high rating downgrades in the system, resulting in new names being added to the stressed pool. However, given SBIN's size, we believe the new stress is manageable (~2% of total loans).
  • In our opinion, SBIN is well poised for an earnings recovery led by steady operating performance at the PPOP level (14% CAGR over FY19-FY21E), recoveries from large NCLT resolutions and normalization in credit cost to 1.9%/1.3% over FY20E/FY21E v/s average of 3.0% over FY16-19.
  • SBIN's stock price has corrected 29% over the past three months, which provides favorable risk-reward, in our view. We conservatively expect RoA/RoE to improve to 0.7%/12.7% by FY21 and maintain our target price of INR350 (1.1x FY21E ABV for the bank + INR94 per share for subsidiaries). Maintain Buy.
