IndiaNivesh recommends subscribe to CSB Bank IPO:
CSB Bank has seen a remarkable turnaround after the new promoter took charge of its affairs in FY19. FIHB is originally promoted by Canadian billionaire Mr. Prem Vatsa, known for making strategic investments turning businesses around. The impact is visible in H2FY20 numbers where CSB returned to the black after posting losses for three consecutive years. At the upper end of issue price it is available at P/BV of around 2.19x on ‘TTM’ basis.
We expect CSB Bank to embark on a growth trajectory of over 20% on business and profitability for next couple of years. There is ample scope for it to get re-rated at higher a multiple of 2.5x to 2.7x P/BV after listing.
Morgan Stanley upgrades NTPC, share price gains 3%
NTPC share price rose 3 percent intraday on November 22 after Morgan Stanley upgraded the rating of the company to overweight, with a target at Rs 152 per share. The company's fixed costs under-recovery was reducing, while potential government stake sale remained an overhang, the brokerage house said.
The steady commissioning should drive earnings and risk-reward was attractive as two of the three concerns either reversing or known, it added.
Motilal Oswal on CSB Bank IPO:
At the upper price band, the issue is valued at 2.4x P/B on 1HFY20 post issue diluted basis. Post the acquisition by Fairfax group, the realigned operational strategy has helped the company to report profits in 1HFY20.
The company is focused to improve profitability and growth going ahead. We believe that given the strong promoter backing and turnaround in profitability, investor can subscribe to the IPO for listing gains.
