3. NRB Bearings:

3. NRB Bearings:

HDFC Securities is bullish on auto components company, NRB Bearings and sees it to gain up to 20% from the current market price of Rs. 140.45. The target price set out for the scrip is Rs. 168.

The company is an ISO 9001 certified best bearing manufacture company in India and today over 90% of vehicles on Indian roads run on NRB parts.

HDFC Securities take

The company has been the major beneficiary of the strong volume recovery in the auto segment. Further, going ahead there is seen revival in demand owing to recovery in OEM offtake. The company’s customer base is across segments such as two-wheelers, commercial vehicles (CVs), passenger cars, utility vehicles (UVs), farm equipment & tractors, off-highway vehicles, railways and defence.

Other key points

– NRB produces all its output indigenously unlike its MNC peers

– The company is well positioned to capitalize given the high share of demand from OEMs

– Export has been a key driver registering a growth of 10% v/s 1.5% CAGR growth in domestic market over FY12-21.

– “Increasing R&D spend and foray into Defence,Aerospace and Railway segments coupled with fall in interest cost could aid in topline and margin expansion. Fears over impact on revenues due to the advent of electric vehicles are partly justified as ICE engines need more number of bearings than Electric engines. However, though the number of bearings required may come down, the complexity and value add of bearings in EVs may be higher”, notes the brokerage company

Valuation & Recommendation: We expect NRB’s revenue/EBITDA/PAT to grow at 17/21/29% CAGR over FY21-FY23, led by increased demand in the automobile industry, operating leverage and reduction in debt. We believe investors can buy the stock in the band of Rs 132-134 and add on dips to Rs 116-118 band (12.5x FY23E EPS) for a base case fair value of Rs 150 (16x FY23E EPS) and bull case fair value of Rs 168 (18x FY23E EPS) over the next 2 quarters.

Stock Current price Target price Potential gains
NRB Bearings Rs140.45 Rs. 168 19.62%

Mumbai: The sale of Citibank’s India retail business is a good opportunity for existing banks to strengthen their affluent customer bases, said CLSA.

IndusInd Bank has the size and valuation constraints to acquire such an asset, while for HDFC Bank it is not a game-changer in terms of size but it is still a good asset, the brokerage said.

Citibank’s India retail business is up for sale as part of a global restructuring. On the block is the $3.5 billion retail asset book with a 4-6% market share of card or spending, sizeable home loan book and an affluent deposit base.

Reports suggest five banks including HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Axis Bank, IndusInd Bank and DBS Bank have been shortlisted.

The brokerage said the size of Citi’s business is too large for IndusInd Bank and its valuation does not favour deal-making.

Valuations would be a constraint for Axis Bank as well although it would be a favourable acquisition.

Citi’s affluent retail business fits well with DBS Bank India’s premium offerings and banking relationships, said CLSA.

For HDFC Bank, the retail book size of Citibank is not a game-changer but for Kotak Mahindra Bank, the business adds 20% to its current retail book and increases its card segment by three times, said CLSA. It is also complementary to its affluent customer base and Kotak’s premium valuation will aid it in a purchase, said CLSA.

According to Siddhartha Khemka, Head, Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services going ahead global cues would be actively tracked as fear of economic slowdown looms while delta variant cases continue to surge. “The market might consolidate for some time on account of weak global cues.

But the overall sentiment in the domestic market remains positive, supported by improving economic data and positive earnings expectation. Good 1QFY22 earnings delivery has boosted hopes for a solid FY22 with 30%+ projected Nifty earnings growth, on the back of a strong 15% earnings growth in FY21,” he says.

MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India’s Governor Shaktikanta Das today said that the central bank would like to see credible answers on what would be the contribution of private cryptocurrencies to the Indian economy.

Das, who was speaking at the Indian Express-Financial Times event, reiterated that the central bank has “serious” and “major” concerns about cryptocurrencies and their impact on the financial stability in the country.

The Indian government is currently in the process of formulating a cryptocurrency bill that may seek to outlaw all private cryptocurrency, while laying down the path for the introduction of central bank digital currency in India.

India has emerged as one of the biggest hubs for cryptocurrency adoption in the world with some pegging the total value of cryptocurrency owned by Indians at over $6.5 billion as of May 2021. The ownership of crypto assets in India has ballooned 400 per cent over the past 17 months.

According to a survey by Finder, almost 30 per cent of the respondents in India said that they owned private cryptocurrencies in their investment portfolio making it the third-highest among Asian countries.

The surge in demand for cryptocurrencies has led to an explosion in cryptocurrency exchanges in the country backed by investments from marquee global private equity and crypto investors such as Tiger Global, Binance and others.

Recent media reports have suggested that the government may look at designating cryptocurrency as a commodity, which will allow them to function as an asset class like equity, bonds and gold. However, the government has yet to finalise the bill, which is awaiting the approval of the Cabinet and the Parliament.

In the past, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has suggested that the government is open to taking a calibrated approach towards cryptocurrencies after facing backlash from the crypto industry, which has since gone on a massive public relations drive to spread awareness on the asset.

Kotak Mahindra Bank to offer home loans at 6.5% through festive season

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


While the special rate will be available across all loan amounts, a borrower will need to have a minimum credit score of 800 to be offered a loan at 6.5%.

Kotak Mahindra Bank on Thursday announced that it has reduced its lowest home loan interest rate by 15 basis points (bps) to 6.5% per annum. The special rate will be available under a limited-period festive offer beginning September 10 and ending on November 8.

While the special rate will be available across all loan amounts, a borrower will need to have a minimum credit score of 800 to be offered a loan at 6.5%. State Bank of India’s (SBI) home loans start at 6.7%, while both Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC) and ICICI Bank price their cheapest home loans at 6.75%.

Ambuj Chandna, president – consumer assets, Kotak Mahindra Bank, said that at 6.5%, the lender’s pricing will be significantly more attractive than that of some of its competitors. “This is a long-term play for us and while the 6.5% rate is specifically applicable to the festive period, let me assure all consumers that we will continue to be extremely competitive on pricing, when it comes to home loans even after this period,” he said.

Kotak Mahindra Bank has been growing in the home loans segment quite aggressively and it has been a high-growth segment for the lender over the last one year, Chandna added. “We believe there is an opportunity to grow. The strategy is aided by the fact that there is liquidity, interest rates are down and gives us a cushion,” he said.

The lender has 25-26% of its lending book in mortgages. The home loan book has been one of the best-performing books for the bank and apart from some minor shifts resulting from the pandemic, on a relative basis the book has done well, according to Chandna. Kotak Mahindra Bank’s rates have helped it to attract better-quality customers as home loan borrowers are very price-sensitive, he said.

Bank will expand exposures on lower-rated, unsecured segment with proper due-diligence: AK Goel, MD & CEO, Uco Bank

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


AK Goel, managing director & chief executive officer, Uco Bank

As the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to take Uco Bank out of the prompt corrective action (PCA) restrictions, the bank will now take exposure in non-fund business to boost its non-interest income and expand exposures on lower rated, unsecured segment with proper due-diligence, says its MD & CEO AK Goel. In an interview with Mithun Dasgupta, Goel informs the lender will look for expanding its branch network in the areas where it has low presence but growth potential is more. Excerpts:

As the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has lifted Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) restrictions on Uco Bank, will it help the bank grow its business faster?
Yes, Uco Bank can now go on non-fund business which attracts low capital and help in improving the bank’s non-interest income. It can now lend to borrowers which are highly rated but unsecured by keeping in mind the trade-off between risk and return.

Will the Bank now be able to disburse higher ticket size loans?
PCA had not put restrictions on lending to big ticket size loan, except some restriction on low rated customers, unsecured loans, exposure in non-fund based business. During the PCA restriction bank was cautious on lending to big ticket size except highly-rated and lending to this segment was restricted to AAA/AA , central/state government guaranteed loans, PSUs, customer with very high market reputations, etc.

What are the strategies to be taken going ahead for higher growth?
Even after removable of PCA restriction, the bank will be cautious in lending to risky sectors/customers. It will expand exposures on lower rated, unsecured segment with proper due-diligence and also factoring the trade-off between risk and return. The bank will take exposure in non-fund business to boost its non-interest income. It will continue to put more thrust on lending to retail, MSME, agriculture and better quality corporate customers to meet its higher growth requirements.

Will now Uco Bank plan to expand its branch network?
Yes, one of the restrictions under PCA was not to expand its branch network. Upon removable of restriction, the bank will look for expanding its branch network in the areas where it has low presence but growth potential is more.

At the end of the first quarter this fiscal, gross NPA ratio stood at 9.37%, while net NPA ratio was at 3.85%. Does the bank have any target on bringing down the NPAs further by this fiscal end?
The bank has strengthened its credit monitoring and recovery mechanism to arrest further slippages to NPA category and improve recovery from non-performing accounts.

These all efforts resulted that its net NPA ratio remained below 4% in June, 2021. We expect that the bank gross NPA ratio should come down below 8% and net NPA ratio at around 3% by this fiscal end.
