Investment rationale by Nirmal Bang
We recently met the CEO of Federal Bank (FBL), Mr Shyam Srinivasan and gleaned incremental insight into the performance and outlook for FBL. Given its outlook and FY19E/20E RoE profile of 11%/12.8%, FBL is a prime re-rating candidate, currently trading at 1.1x FY20E P/BV. It may, also, be noted that 4QFY18 results were mispriced by the market. We retain Buy rating on FBL with a target price to Rs116, valuing the stock at 1.5x FY20E P/BV.
