    Investment Rationale
    The company stays put on rapid retailisation of portfolio (50% vs 41% YoY) by i) strengthening existing products’ expertise, ii) launching new products to capture adjacencies and new markets; and iii) customer-centric approach to cross-sell loan products. Sustaining NIMs (including fee income) above 8% and opex + credit cost at 5.0-5.5%, it targets 2.6-3.0% (pretax) RoA in medium term. Retaining target price at Rs97, given correction of ~14% in stock in past 3 months, the brokerage upgrades it to ‘BUY’ from Add.
