Valuation: At CMP of 700, the stock is trading at P/ABVx of 2.7x and 2.2x of its FY11E and FY12E respectively. We still believe that the conservative provision policy, pan India presence, normal monsoon and rural centric business will lead to the growth momentum for the company and lead to better ROE. We believe that as the disbursement momentum for 9MFY11 (which generally a slack season for the company) will maintain which lead to higher advances growth and further the Rural housing business also saw some traction. Based on the assumption of sustainable ROE of 18-19% we believe that 2.5x (earlier assume at 2.8x) ABVPS represent to be the fair value.
