(Rating: BUY, TP: Rs 230, Upside 47.4%)
- Better than expected operating show; incremental provisions may be required in non-Gold businesses
- We project 12-14% consol. AUM growth for FY22/23 even with modest growth in the mainstay gold loans business.
- Normalization of credit cost in MFI & CV businesses would improve overall RoA to 6%+. Earnings CAGR would likely be 15-20% over FY21-23.
- Valuation is undemanding at 1.2x FY23 P/ABV considering healthy earnings growth, strong profitability and robust capitalization. We retain BUY and 12m TP of Rs230.
