Mannapuram was locked at 20 percent upper circuit for the second consecutive session on Friday after Reserve Bank of India eased norms for gold loan financing companies. Bank of America Merrill Lynch has upgraded the stock by 2 notches to a buy and raised target price by 91 percent to Rs 25 apiece post RBI’s easing of loan-to-value (LTV) norms. According to the brokerage house, RBI’s easing of norms is a big positive that will create a level playing field for the gold loan financing company. “Return on equities (RoEs) will rise to 12 percent in FY15 and 15 percent in FY16,” Bank of America Merrill Lynch report said. The central bank on Wednesday hiked loan-to-value ratio (LTV) to up to 75 percent for loans against the collateral of gold jewellery from the present limit of 60 percent with immediate effect. Hence, the people seeking loan against gold jewellery can now borrow more money. In case of apprehensions on certifying the purity of the gold jewellery accepted as collateral, RBI clarified that the need to give a certificate on the purity of gold cannot be dispensed with. The certified purity shall be applied for determining the maximum permissible loan and the reserve price for auction.
