IDBI Capital Report

City Union Bank, among the old private banks, has reported consistent performance in return on asset at ~1.5% over the FY15-19 (pre-Covid period). This is backed by 16% loan compound annual growth rate (FY15-19) and stable gross non-performing asset at 2% to 3%.

Covid pandemic has impacted the asset quality which resulted in RoA to the lowest levels of ~1% in FY20. We expect RoA to improve towards ~1.5%, backed by 15% loan CAGR (FY22-24) and decline in credit cost at 1.2% FY23 versus 2.2% in FY21.

Stock trades at attractive valuation i.e. price-to-adjusted book of 1.7 times FY24E. Key positives of City Union Bank are stable asset quality; credit growth in high teen’s and key to watch is trajectory of restructured assets.
