Positive narrative that is coming out is:
- Bandhan doesn’t have issues in liability side ie Deposit base is strong and granular
- Capital Adequacy Ratio is at 24.69% (vs 15% for RBL/Indusind)
- Rural India might show higher resilience,
Having said that MSME + Unsecured lending risk stays.
Markets might wait for clarity to emerge to give it a multiple it deserves. For now in a lockdown its a black-box and markets don’t like uncertainty.
