HDFC Securities Institutional Research also sees 14 percent YoY loan growth and 16 percent increase in NII.

 

Axis Bank, the country's third largest private sector lender, is expected to return to profit in June quarter 2020 compared to March quarter, but on a year-on-year basis, there could be double-digit decline in profits.

The bank had reported a loss of Rs 1,387.78 crore in March quarter 2020.

Higher provisions, lower other income and decline in pre-provision operating profit (PPoP) may impact profitability during the quarter YoY.

"The profitability of the bank is expected to come down on account of lower fee income, moderation in advance growth and bank guiding for material increase in provisioning," said Narnolia Financial Services.


According to brokerages, net interest income, the difference between interest earned and interest expended, is expected to be around 14-16 percent higher year-on-year with focus on retail segment and stable net interest margin.

"We expect loan growth at 13 percent YoY with greater focus on retail; NIM unchanged QoQ at 3.5 percent (led by loan composition and funding costs)," said Kotak Institutional Equities which sees profit declining 27.5 percent, NII 14 percent and PPoP 5 percent YoY.

HDFC Securities Institutional Research also sees 14 percent YoY loan growth and 16 percent increase in NII.

"Stable NIMs are expected to drive core earnings growth of 16 percent YoY. Drop in non-interest income (with muted core fees and higher recoveries in base quarter), will result in PPoP de-growth of 11 percent YoY and 10 percent QoQ)," the brokerage said.

Axis Bank's asset quality is expected to improve and slippages are likely to fall on sequential basis in Q1.

"Asset quality of the bank is expected to be largely stable with moratorium being extended. However the trend going forward into Q3FY21 will be important to track," Narnolia said.

Remember, the six-month moratorium period on loans will end on August 31.

"We expect slippages of around Rs 2,500 crore (around 2 percent of loans) mostly from 'below investment grade book' but loans currently in moratorium. We expect gross NPLs to decline QoQ due to lower slippages. Moratorium should decline meaningfully for the bank," Kotak said.

Similar to 2020, D-Street is at record high ahead of Budget 2021; will history repeat itself?

  Experts are of the view that a repeat of 2020 or what happened in March might not be possible but some consolidation cannot be ruled out. Back in March when everyone wanted to write-off 2020 from their books, hope and liquidity supported markets and investor sentiment. Nobody thought that after touching a 3-year low in March 2020, benchmark indices would give double-digit returns by the end of the year. The S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty50 rallied by about 15 percent in 2020 and the big outperformance came from the small and midcap stocks. The rally is still continuing in 2021. The S&P BSE Sensex, which climbed Mount 49K, is up over 3 percent while the Nifty50 is up over 4 percent so far in January. Sensex scaling the 49,000-mark and Nifty50 touching 14,500 levels ahead of the Budget 2021 could make anyone cautious about the strength of the rally. Back in January 2020, both Sensex and Nifty touched fresh highs ahead of Budget, and then the market fell like a pack of cards. The ...
