Cons:

  • A fall in collections is a key risk, as most of the collections are still cash-based and require a physical presence by its representatives. Collection efficiency in three states, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Odisha, is key as most of the bank’s lending business comes from here.
  • The fall in collection efficiency would directly lead to a fall in asset quality
  • While many borrowers had opted for the moratoriums available and most of the customers started paying instalments after the moratorium period was over, there can be no assurance that customers impacted due to COVID-19 will continue to make payments on a continuing basis

Suryoday Small Finance Bank is the leading small finance bank in India which has been growing since their conversion as an SFB and are currently in a robust financial position that will enable them to expand their business quickly. The bank’s operations are also funded by growth capital provided by a diverse group of investors, including development finance institutions, private equity investors, institutional investors, and family offices such as Kiran Vyapar Ltd. and Polaris Banyan Holding Pvt. Ltd. On the financial side, the bank has shown superior growth over the years with a strong recovery ratio and has reported a net profit of Rs 111.19 Cr, Rs90.39 Cr and  Rs 11.49 Cr in the FY20, FY19, and FY18 respectively. In the last 9 months from March 2020 to Dec 2020, the bank has reported a net profit of Rs 54.86 Cr. The bank is valued at 2.6 times its book value as per 9months FY21. Listed peers such as Ujjivan Small Finance Bank and Equitas Small Finance Bank, trade at a similar valuation. For the last 3 years average EPS of Rs 11.33, the P/E ratio is 27x, and on the upper price band of Rs 305 and EPS of Rs 13.3 for FY20, the P/E ratio works out to be 23x. If we annualize last 9 months EPS for FY21 P/E works out to be 38x. Means, the company asking price of Rs 305 of the upper price band in the P/E range of 23x to 38x. The issue when compared to its peer seems to be fully priced. Considering all the above factors and the growth prospects of the company, we recommend “SUBSCRIBE” for Moderate to High risk Investors in the current Bull Run and the conservative investors can give it a miss.
