Among PSU Banks, SBIN remains the best play on a gradual recovery in the Indian economy, with a healthy PCR, Tier I of ~11.3%, strong liability franchise and improved core operating profit. While business trends were impacted by the lockdowns, loan growth is likely to recover gradually over FY22-23E. Even slippages are expected to moderate meaningfully over 2HFY22 as asset quality remains impeccable in the Retail book. We estimate credit costs of 1.6%/1.3% for FY22E/FY23E. We project RoA/RoE of 0.8%/14.6% by FY23E. Subsidiaries (SBI MF, SBILIFE, SBICARD, SBI Cap) have exhibited robust performances over last few years, supporting our SoTP valuation. Maintain BUY, with TP of INR600/share (1.3x FY23E ABV + INR190/share from subsidiaries).

We forecast CPI inflation will hold steady at 5.60% in August, the same as in July. Even within the drivers of the headline, there appears to be a holding pattern, with food prices experiencing a seasonal increase, and the surge in imported commodity prices starting to peak. Furthermore, there are signs of food prices declining across a diverse set of items, but it is still too early to call it a sustainable trend. Overall, we continue to forecast that CPI inflation will average 5.4% in FY2021-22, with risks biased modestly to the upside. Barclays

“Some negative economic news is likely to turn out to be positive for markets in the very short-term. The US jobs data – only 2.35 lakh jobs added in August against the expectation of above 7 lakhs – support the Fed’s claim that “there is much more ground to cover” before rates are revised upwards. So, even tapering expected by this year-end is likely to be a ‘taper without tantrum’. The dollar index hovering around 92.16 is likely to support fresh FII inflows. This, along with sustained DII investment and active retail buying can impart resilience to the market even at high valuations. Fresh highs are likely driven by the strong uptrend in RIL and renewed buying in banking stocks. The ideal strategy in this bull market is to remain invested with occasional partial profit bookings and moving some profits to fixed income,” said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services.

We’re eyeing 17,500 in Nifty however it may see some pause or consolidation first. In case of any dip, the 17,200-17,050 zone would act as a cushion. The recent trend of rotational buying across sectors is likely to continue in the coming week too. Though the broader indices have also witnessed a decent surge of late, we recommend remain cautious as any profit taking in the market may again derail the momentum. In short, align your positions according to the trend and continuing with the “buy on dips” approach.
