SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank share prices in focus, see what Jefferies says about these large Indian Banks
Jefferies has put SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank share prices under focus and has come out with its take on Indian Financials. Read Through Channel Checks From SBI Card Q2 numbers saw NPL ratio rise from 1.4% in Q1 to 4.3% in Q2; also 3.2% is in standstill & 9% is restructured (17% stress). This puts doubt on the credit card book of larger Private Banks like HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank.
Jefferies channel checks point that they are more conservative with higher share of internal clients, controlled credit limits & better clients; their focus is on fees vs. revolvers. Seems ICICI Bank is more conservative. Hence, Jefferies don't see such risks for larger banks.
