What investors should know before investing in CSB Bank
- CSB Bank's stock is trading at a P/B multiple of 1.24 times, which is at a considerable discount to its all-time-high price and the average P/B ratio since listing.
- The bank has been trying to reduce its risk by derisking the balance sheet to include low-yield corporate and secured retail loans segments only.
- The bank has posted healthy growth in advances by gold loans, SME, other retail loans, and a 5.3% spike in corporate loans from Q1 and Q2 to Q3 of fiscal year 2025.
- Asset quality has improved in the last two quarters, and .CSB Bank holds contingency provisions of over ₹180 crore.
- CASA growth has not been great, the bank has had to rely on term deposits and a highly raised share of bulk deposits which are more expensive than CASA. This is affecting the NIM.
- The shorter-term nature of the bank’s loans enables quick repricing resulting in still sustaining a 4% plus full-year NIM guidance for FY25.
- CSB Bank has highlighted a transition plan leading to FY30, with a shift from large product lines to more comprehensive and tech-savvy banking solutions focusing on customer-level profitability rather than product-level profitability.
- RoA for Q3 FY25 (annualised) stands at 1.5%, and the management expects it to be range-bound between 1.5% and 1.6% until FY27 before gradually inching upward towards 1.8% from FY28.
- The stock current valuation is suitable for long-term investors who seek to profit when accumulated.
- However, the stock is susceptible to the cyclical nature of the financial sector, and there is an execution risk.
