Outlook & valuation

Satin Creditcare delivered an exceptional set of numbers in Q3FY24. Management indicated the credit growth to continue at 35-40% YoY in the near term. Further, we believe that recovery in disbursements has been swift post-Covid and after the transient impact of new regulations. The share of NBFC-MFIs in industry disbursements has risen in recent quarters with a level playing field created by the new regulations. Removal of margin cap and pricing dynamism (cycle-based, profile-based, district-based, etc.) has provided impetus to NBFC-MFIs by increasing their capacity to absorb credit costs and expand in newer markets. We like satin Creditcare due to rich experience of promoter, diversified resource profile, and the ample liquidity. We expect the Profitability of satin creditcare would see a sharp improvement in coming quarters on account of strategic adjustments in crucial leadership roles, enhancement of governance protocols improving asset quality & collection efficiency. At CMP of Rs 244, the stock is trading at P/BV of 0.91x its FY25E BVPS, which appears reasonable and hence, we maintain a HOLD rating on the stock.
