Company Statement

“Typically, second half of the financial year is always better for the bank in terms of growth and collections,” Chandra Shekhar Ghosh, managing director and chief executive at Bandhan Bank, said in a statement. “With easing of Covid-19 second wave and upcoming festive season, we’re confident of achieving better performance going forward.”

What This Means For The Investor

While at the outset, the number may not seem jubilant, the bank has managed to beat street estimates and deliver resilient growth in key areas that banks are generally analyzed on – NII, Deposits, CASA and NPAs. The fact that the bank had made a large provision may be construed as prudence on the part of the management team even though it affected net profit by a large extent. The management are confident of a better second half of the year for the Bank. That said, Bandhan Bank stock, at a P/E of 21.38 looks overvalued against the sector average of 13.57.
