@spvk1 Can you throw some light on how the BC(Branch Correspondent) and CSP(Customer Service Point) works if you have studied the same or have insights on those for RBL Bank? What is the process? How is the manpower gets utilized?
Hi,
Just want to know why in RBL promoter holding is Zero?
Institution holds around 26 % of shares , which seems good. Zero promoter holding - Isnāt it Risky for investors ?
Is there anything I am missing here. Can someone please share views on Zero promoter holding in RBL. Thanks.
Please refer to the IPO red herring prospectus
Company Promoters:
RBL is a professionally managed company and does not have an identifiable
promoter in terms of the SEBI Regulations and the Companies Act, 2013.
Consequently, it has no āpromoter groupā nor any āgroup companiesā in terms
of the SEBI Regulations.
Hence, promoter share is zero.
The bank does not have any identifiable promoter. It counts marquee
investors such as HDFC, HDFC Bank, International Finance Corp (IFC),
Norwest Partners, Faering Cap, Samara Capital, TVS Capital, Aditya Birla
PE, IDFC Investments among its shareholders.
Led by Vishwavir Ahuja, the bank has a strong management team in place,
which has been instrumental for its growth. We have countless examples of
what wonders professional and top quality management can do to a business,
particularly so in the financial services space. Just in the Indian
context, names like Aditya Puri (HDFC Bank), Rana Kapoor (Yes Bank), Romesh
Sobti (Indusind Bank), V Vaidyanathan (Capital First) immediately come to
the mind, who have shaped companies to becoming highly profitable and
efficient.

Many Thanks Praveen for the useful information.
SBI launched its digital one stop shop app last week and from what I know the feedback is quite good. Obviously SBI will remain behind others in digital but they have most to gain given existing inefficiencies and in many ways they are breaking the glass when it comes to digital thinking. For example the financial Superstore they are buildingā¦

Results have been bad in my opinion. 60 % increase in other expenses, more than double provisioning write offs, steep increase in NPA ( though company highlights due to single account n expects to resolve by q4). The only heartening factor was higher growth of retail book n retail is 1/3rd of loan portfolio now though itās not the best of retail assets but at least from diversification perspective , it is better

Some important numbers and notes from concall -
- CASA 24->28% qoq, retail segment doing well, expecting this to continue doing well
- NIM up 51bps,
- cost/income to reduce going forward,
- ROA/ROE to improve further going forward,
- credit card division doing well. Lots of opex going into this, profitability comes with scale, will stop at 7-8% of loan book max (current - 5%), partnership model with Bajaj doing well.
- well capitalized (no cap. required for 1.5-2yrs),
- operational leverage at play (rev rising more than costs),
- strategy to lend for working capital requirements to continue as this being safer based on operating cash flows,
- NPAs are reducing, further reduction expected
- expecting 40% loan book growth in micro-finance segment; not much opex required here as they are following banking correspondent model
- expecting credit costs to come down in FY19

Abhishek - Excellent summary. Appreciate.
What could be possible reasons for continued under performance of RBL Bank on stock price front? Could you please enlighten with your experience?

I donāt know for sure, but it is possible because after the IPO a fair number of investors who held the shares pre-IPO may be interested in booking profits. Another factor was the poor market sentiment about MFI space, in which RBL has a good stake. Also, the valuation is not very cheap either. But, in my opinion, for strong companies, such time-wise corrections are good opportunities to buy and hold for the long term. They tend to be very good compounded returns.

@Yatharth Adding to @basumallick comments, adding last 3 years of weekly chart.
As he said, good companies also go through their own way of time based consolidation, the chart reflects it well. 1 year back when prices doubled in a year, book value shoot up to 5+ and then we had MFI , increase in NPA etc. which lead to some fall and time correction which is evident in chart. Now, based on q4 analysis of market and company, I infer the following:
- As committed in Q3, NPA both at absolute and % levels have decreased
- The trouble making account which led to rise in NPA is settled as per interview and concall
- Growth is continuing
- All key margins improving
- Retail and Cards book doing well and their share in overall business continuously increasing
- MFI industry is back to 99% collection and 30%+ growth
- Book value is almost under 4 and growth prospects looking good
- The perils of PSU banks can add more opportunities to private banks including RBL
So, headwinds seems to be over and tailwinds in flow though we need to continuously monitor our scripts. So, this summarizes the fundamental information
Now, though, I am a beginner, taking a shot at the chart technically.
As you can see , the script has undergone 1 year of consolidation, time correction with 10-20% of fall range. There are 3 lines which are trying capture short, mid and long term price moving average and ideally if the longer duration line is above shorter, stock seems to maintain its uptrend. I see the RED and BLUE line gap contracting during consolidation but RED line never breaching below BLUE and off looks like it was about to kiss BLUE line but went up which means short term bullishness regenerated. Now, considering all fundamentals going well again, this RED and BLUE line gap to increase again which means the stock should create fresh high with 550 and 600 as resistance zones and 500 and 450 as support zones. If moving averages and fundamentals work in sync, I am expecting a bounce back from 500 level if it goes till 500. The momentum and other metrics also look supportive though I do not understand them in total detail. Lets see how story unfolds

Do you know troubled/NPA account for this bank?
Bank is typically bound by confidentiality not to reveal names. Many times it can be inferred if the account is large enough and other lenders also have exposure.

I see a lot of comparison between Yes Bank and RBL. RBL is the new kid on the block so to say. The stock price increased dramatically along with Bank Nifty. The Bank Nifty itself has been on a consolidation mode for some time. So has RBL. RBL is now range bound between 500 to 540 ā¦ and has attempted to cross above 540 many times without being able to sustain these price levels. On the lower side, 460 and 420 are good support levels.
For a strong multi-bagger candidate, it may be a good idea to accumulate via SIP till the scrip gathers momentum (in the current scenario, first signal will be a break above 540 and second signal will be a break and sustaining above 600 levels). Currently the stock is in bearish mode (50 dma is below 200 dma) ā¦
