ICICI Bank - Contrarian pick

Team, any view on this company. Private sector banks are looking in a good shape. Bank nifty has not gone below 34k and is holding strong. Some of the key pillars like axis , kotak and hdfc are forming up a good foundation.

Would we still call icici bank as a contrarian pick?

Can anyone please tell me how to calculate total equity of a bank, as the accounting structure for a bank is different from other businesses I am having a hard time calculating return on equity?

Equity at FY22 end= Equity at FY21 end+FY22 Net profit.

So the share capital and reserves added give us the total equity?

yes that’s how it is

I was going through the results presentation of ICICI Bank https://www.icicibank.com/managed-assets/docs/investor/quarterly-financial-results/2023/2022_10_Q2-2023_Investor_presentation.pdf. There is a section on digital initiatives like iMobilePay, InstaBiz, SmartWire, APIs, Trade an Supply chain solutions, etc. I have a retail account and the degree of automation and online services is quite impressive, though I have not used any other Indian bank offering. On ICICI, even the most obscure things like Transfer. Instruction For Delivery. slips for Demat transfers can be online. Their merchant and SME offerings look quite competitive.

Can anyone comment on how much this is a differentiator? Do all banks do something similar?

I agree with ICICI Bank observations.
Response time has reduced in the past 2-3 years. Hope that, New management do not get involved in fraudulent activities like previous management.
Gross NPA have always remained the concern for this bank for the past 15 years.
If the new management can remain more cautious in lending approach and Customer centric approach (not calling customer every day when not required!!) remains, this bank may turn into a good investment.

Disc : No investment.
