Weekly Recommendations - Sep 13 2010


Axis Bank

* Current market price (CMP): Rs 1,380/ target price (TP): Rs 1,688/ Upside: 22%
* Rationale: The Bank has expanded its network at 33% CAGR since FY2005, doubling its CASA market share to 4.0% by FY2010 (20bp yoy increase in FY2010). Angel Broking expects the bank to continue market share gains of 30-50bp every year driven by strong branch expansion. Fee income contribution across a spectrum of services has been a meaningful 2% of assets (almost twice the level in PSBs) over FY2007-10. The bank`s high credit growth was backed by strong low-cost deposit growth, rather than chasing risky loans using high-cost deposits. Moreover, with the improving economic outlook and reducing corporate leverage, NPA concerns are receding and could provide upside to our earnings estimates (which still factor NPA provisions at 0.5% of assets in FY2011E vs. an average of 0.4% over FY2006-10). The stock is trading at attractive valuations of 2.6x FY2012E P/ABV. Hence, it maintains a `Buy` on the stock with a target price of Rs1,688 (at 3.2x FY2012E P/ABV).
