Here is what brokerages have to say about the stock and the company post September quarter earnings:

Jefferies

Broking house has maintained underperform rating and raised the target to Rs 82 from Rs 70 per share as the Q2 profit was ahead of estimate due to lower provisions.

However, the slippages stayed elevated at 3.5% of loans and gross NPL at 8.1% & restructured loans at 3%.

Jefferies raises estimate but core PPOP/assets is low, will keep RoE sub-10%.

CLSA

CLSA has maintained buy call and raised the target price to Rs 140 per share.

The bank is beneficiary of corporate recovery cycle.

The strong asset quality performance adjusted for SREI group. It expect credit costs to normalise to 120- 125 bps by FY23 and expect 10.8-11% RoE by FY23/24.

Credit Suisse

Brokerage house has kept outperform call and raised the target price to Rs 120 from Rs 100 per share.

The growth is picking up, with healthy asset quality outcomes. Its CET is healthy at 11.4% and expect RoE to improve to > 10%.

FY22E EPS estimate increased by 15% on lower provisions.

Motilal Oswal

Bank Of Baroda reported a strong earnings performance, supported by lower provisions and higher other income, even as NII remained under pressure. Domestic NIM moderated by 22bp QoQ to 2.9%.

Business trends, however, improved with advances growing at 4% QoQ, led by the Corporate and Retail book. The management expects the growth momentum to continue, led by the Retail segment, while the Corporate book continues to see a gradual recovery.

The bank reported an improvement in asset quality, with CE increasing to 96%.

We increase our FY22E/FY23E earnings estimate sharply by 39%/14% and expect a RoA/RoE of 0.7%/10.9% by FY23E. We maintain our buy

rating with a revised target price of Rs 130 per share (0.9x Sep’23E ABV).

LKP Research

We expect BoB to post a ROA/ROE of 0.6%/8.7% by FY23E led by stable balance sheet growth along with higher PCR and steady asset quality.

We value the standalone bank at PBV of 0.9xFY23E Adj. BVPS of Rs 137 to arrive at a price target of Rs 124 (revised upwards).

We recommend buy with potential upside of 23%.
