Earnings growth healthy; Slippage remains high |
REDUCE
CMP: Rs 1,563 Target Price: Rs 1,200
n Axis Bank’s (AXSB) Q2FY11 NII at Rs16.2bn marginally ahead of expectations driven by 36% growth in advances and 18bps expansion in NIMs
n Higher growth in NII was partially offset by lower trading gains and higher operating expenditure
n Slippages continue to remain high resulting in higher credit costs. Slippages for Q2FY11 at 1.7% vis-à-vis 1.5% in FY10 and 1.6% in Q1FY11
n Valuations unattractive at 3.0x FY12E ABV with slippages remaining high. Continue REDUCE rating with TP of Rs1,200
