“We value the stock on price-to-earnings (PE) multiple as we believe that the high contribution of fee-based income in total revenue is not linked to balance-sheet or net-worth growth. At the upper band of the issue price of Rs 755, it is valued at 38.4x/30.3x FY21/22 earnings per share of Rs 19.7/24.9,” said PhillipCapital which advised subscribing the issue.
According to the global brokerage, SBI Card is likely to deliver superior earnings CAGR of 39 percent over FY19-22 translating into return on average assets (ROAA) of 5.8/5.7 percent and return on average equity (ROAE) of 29 percent in this period.
Credit cards are unique consumer-financial products that offer both credit and payment facilities simultaneously. As such, they have served as the means by which Indian consumer spent Rs 5.5 lakh crore in the nine months ending December 2019 – which has translated into outstanding credit-card loans of Rs 1.4 lakh crore as on December 2019.
Credit cards provide fund-based revenue in the form of interest income and non-fund-based revenue in the form of subscription and spend based fees, resulting in an efficient capital structure, which provides strong return ratios for the business.
“The Indian market, being a growing consumption market with low penetration levels for credit cards, provides great opportunity and scope,” said PhillipCapital.
SBI Card IPO subscription begins: Should you subscribe?
Prabhudas Lilladher has initiated coverage on SBI Cards and Payment Services with a buy recommendation and target price of Rs 1,191.
The brokerage believes that SBI Card is a formidable play on rising discretionary spends and non cash economy given a) broad reach and parentage of SBI b) under-utilized captive banca potential c) leadership in co-branded cards and d) 40 percent contribution of premium cards.
“We estimate 23 percent CAGR in total cards-in-force which will enable 27 percent CAGR in in loan receivables and revenues. Strong risk management and data analytics capabilities will enable a steady 14 percent NIMs, 2.5-2.6 percent gross non-performing assets and ROA/ROE of 6 percent and 28 percent despite credit costs of 0.4 percent given high risk unsecured lending model,” said Prabhudas Lilladher.
