CLSA
While the second wave of COVID will lead to near-term uncertainty, improving deposit granularity, adequate coverage on stress book, and high core profitability should ensure stability, CLSA said.
"We expect ROEs to increase to about 15% by FY23/24F; hence, current valuations at 1.35x FY23 book are undemanding," it said.
CLSA maintains a Buy rating and a target price of Rs 1,325.
Nomura
Nomura noted that the bank's management expects to grow CVs, vehicles, MFI & diamond financing, while rising COVID-19 cases may impair the growth in high-touch businesses.
It maintained a Buy call with a TP of Rs 1,130 per share.
