Gross non-performing asset/net non-performing asset stood at 4.2% / 1.1% versus 3.8% / 1.1% in Q4 FY24.We have estimated earnings CAGR of 49.8% over FY24-FY26E on the back of 18.3% CAGR in the loan book and lower credit cost. We have valued Bandhan Bank at 1.2 times its June 2026E ABV (same as earlier, a 57.4% discount to five-year average price/adjusted book value) and we have derived a target price of Rs 217 (versus Rs 212 earlier). .In our view, the stock will see an overhang in the near to medium term due to the following reasons:End result of the detailed audit on the directions of NCGTC,How the succession at the top management level takes shape,Frequent IBPC transactions in the Housing portfolio can be a concern in the long term with respect to the quality of the book being originated andHigher C/D ratio at 94.3% can constrain growth, but the same can be managed by tapping the refinancing route. .Maintain Accumulate..Click on the attachment to read the full report:.DISCLAIMERThis report is authored by an external party.
