HDB - Pressured by the Covid-19 yet outlook remains constructive

Currently HDB’s income growth is still primarily driven by net interest income, while other income streams remains limited, especially under unfavorable economic conditions. For 2020, net interest income is expected to stay strong, but service income is likely to pick up only until the exclusive bancassurance agreement is finalized (expected by 2H2020). Regarding expense, in 1Q the bank has accumulated some reserves for trading & investment securities, operating and provision expenses just in case of a worsening virus situation. We expect that this relatively prudent provisioning will be able to moderate the virus impact on the bottom line in the next quarters.

Considering the bank’s solid financials and resilience towards epidemic impact, we raise HDB’s target price to VND 31,000, equivalent to a potential upside of 14% versus the current market price. We recommend to ACCUMULATE the stock.
