Subject: IDBI: Enough Margin of safety
Date Posted: 10/Sep/2006 at 12:15pm
Dear Basant,

Can IDBI double from here in an year?

1. Quoting at 40% discount to Book Value.
2. Good IT infrastructure.
3. Foray into new areas like online trading, insurance.
4. Share of low-cost funds going up.
5. NPA at reasonable levels.

IDBI looks like the way ICICI was in beginning of this decade.

Concerns are:
1. Low Net Interest Margins and return on equity. But likely to improve from here.

Personally I like opportunities with good margin of safety. This gives me conviction to take large bets.

Thanks
Nawendu

You surely have a compelling argument but ICICI grew because of Kamath  and those bright ladies (Morparis, Gupte etc). Not so sure on IDBI but yes, the safety element screams. Is the Book value NPA adjusted?
 

Market  Price

Rs 65.70

Market cap

Rs 4758 crores

EPS Fy 06

Rs 7.76

PE

8.48

Book Value

Rs 88.03

RoE

9.01%

Dividend

Rs 1.5  per share

NPA

1.01%

 
The results do look impressive. We would ignore looking at the RoE sincethe company is trying to get its act together.Otherwise a PE of 8 for a company engaged in  http://www.theequitydesk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=247 - Retail banking  is impressive. 
 
It looks like a great bet! I would back you on this and if there is anything wrong it appears discounted in the price.
 
At a market cap of US 1 $ billion just see the kind of reach, infrastructure and brand that we are getting. That is about the same value that the market has assigned to many of these textile plays which would have been under debt from IDBI.

Another concern I had was that recent profits(almost 50%) have come from sale of investments which is not sustainable. They need to improve their NIM quickly.

They also have stake various state infrastucture development corporations which is still at par in their balance sheet as per RBI directive but I guess these will need to be written off in future as most of these entities are defunct or their net worth totally eroded. But I am assuming that these should be compensated by other investments when they are marked to market. It is difficult to get these details and quantify as it is not in their annual report.

Yes, I went through the same but it does not get reflected there.At one point in time RJ was very bullish was this stock but that was last year.Once we get the NPA Adjusted BV things would be very easy it can be worked out also but I do not want to do this exercise as we may miss out something that si quite relevant. Deducting from the networth the NPA portion  and then dividing it by numebr of shares.
 
The adjusted BV will capture everything and I have found it the better way to evaluate Banks/FI's . In these industries the PE reflects little.

Basant,

How will UWB's merger with IDBI impact IDBI. -ve is that IDBI is paying 28/share but +ve is that it gets to double its branches. I guess considering size of IDBI's balance sheet, it should not have any material impact on IDBI's financials.

Thanks
Nawendu

I have not studies that in detail but I would go with your assesement. UWB market cap at Rs 115 crores is 3% of IDBI's so even if all of that Goes down the drain IDBI shall recover the money in one year of operation.
 
The markets may take oit negatively but to me it does not matter or for a long term investor could be beneficial since it gives IDBi a head start.
 
I am not sure how UWB's book value is reflected at rs 62 maybe it has not been adjusted for the NPA's!

I think you are correct this BV is not adjusted for NPAs. Adujusting for Net NPAs BV should be around 21 to 22. That is what market is pricing it at. Markets do get efficient

Pradeep Bavnani(not sure if surname is correct) made a fortune by investing in UWB(15% stake) Shares when it dipped sharply after a moratorium announcement and with Rs 28/share by IDBI he maybe on the list of  greatest investor correct me if made a mistake

You are very much right. The circuit on stock was lifted on that day and it dipped 52%. As per my information his stake is around 10%, anyway its a smart move.

Why does IDBI want to increase its liabilities ?
 
1) Taking up Restructuring of LML which has its networth wiped out !
2) Giving 28 Rs per share to UWB shareholders
 
NIM was already BAD ..  In a manner to be "heroic", this bank collects liabilties ..
 
I wish i could long-term short this bank

I think that IDBI and RBI must be knowing something that we don't else why would this deal go thru. I dont think they would do it just to be heroic? What do you think prosperity. Definitely they must be seeing some value in the amalgamation, in the long-term. ??

I have analyzed long term impact and I find it +ve. Imagine adding 200+ branches in largest loan market that too when IDBI just has 195 branches through out India.

It seems market has given Thumbs Up to this deal.


Posted By: basant
Date Posted: 13/Sep/2006 at 3:38pm

In Banking IDBI had no presence in Maharashtra and imagine getting present in about 200 locations at 3% of market cap the company is doubling its branches. Nawendu jee you need to be congratulated and I think over the next 2 years IDBI should more then double from here.

Generally investors would talk in terms of NPA's etc but that is just a one year phenomenon. IDBI could write it off and recover the money in 2 years. Imagine what happens after that.
 
My experience shows that events like these are short term negatives / mildly positive but think about some one who is holding the stock in 2008.

Dear Basant,

Thanks for your compliments.

Just saw ICICI securities sell recommendations on IDBI based on UWB's poor finacials and branches. Now this is a classical conflict of interest. While parent ICICI was first to throw its hat in the ring, ICICI securities comes out with a sell. I wonder why they did not suggest same to their management. No wonder organisations like Fidelity are respected as they are only asset management company and always on only one side of the table unlike these financial institutions.

I have learnt the hard way by believing brokerage reports. These are to be taken as only academic guidance.
 
I saw another BUY report by DSP ML on IDBI.
 
These "analysts" could convince you both ways by crunching numbers & presenting it in the fashion their major clients want it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was told to me by a senior person of a major Investment Bank:
Let me give you hypothetical example of the modus operandi:
Broker "A" has a big FII Client "B" who wants to offload large quantity of INFY at a target price of say 1850 to 1900. But if "B" puts a sell order and market gets whiff of it, INFY would tank. So, "A" circulates a STRONG BUY report to all its clients. Initially, "B' also buys some quantity to boost the price, rumour mills/chat rooms are abuzz with "FII buying interest!!". Interest is generated and uninformed investors fall prey to it, then "B" slowly and steadily offloads desired quantity at desired price range.

It was good to see IDBI results. They have turned NIM +ve this Q. That means their core banking operations are in black. I hope they are able to grow their retail deposits quickly to improve NIM further.

Does any one use their IDBI Paisabuilder online trading?

Any news on their Insurance business?


Posted By: nav_1996

Punjab National Bank has decided to offer idbiPiasaBuilder platform to their demat customer for online trading.

Their insurance venture with Fortis will be operational by mid-2007.

Don't know how many of you are a customer of IDBI, hence I thought of putting that perspective as well. It always helps to analyze a bussiness from a customer's perspective. By this you will know whether the bank will penetrate deep or not.

* Recently IDBI has been hapazardly charging all sorts of fee incomes to all its customers.
* Transactions like internet transfer (credit as well as debit) are charged
* U request for a duplicate PIN and these guys u 100 bucks!
* U get a ECS payment (refund of IPO/mutual funds) and these guys charge u even on these
* The bank Housing finance division is also a big mess. They give flexi loans which do not have any benchmarks (usually there are PLRs for other banks) - finally raising loan rates that go above tolerence levels.
* Quite a few industry analysts like Sucheta Dalal have questioned the banks intensions on the hapazard fee income structures - remember RBI advices banks to give these services free of cost!

The bank looks good from a valuation perpective but suffers from terrible management. They are not in the countries top 3 private banks by market share and by taxing the custmors by all means they hav developed a bad reputation.

I strongly think that unless the bank changes its attitude they might not be able to penetrate and make a mark in this already competitive indian banking industry.

I keep my self away from Govt controlled financial institutions. With more flexibility give in financial sector, one must avoid these rigid, non-customer friendly, non-aggrasive banks/institutions. Atmost they can be punter's call.

This may interest some of you who want a play on Exchange holdings. IDBI is one of the largest promotores of NSE and this does not reflect in their book value. IDBI is also promoter of NSE sister concern NSDL.

That is really interesting any idea what percentage IDBI holds in the exchange and depository.

As per Macquaire, IDBI holds 7.5% in NSE which they value at Rs 9/share. Interestingly they are negative on stock and have a target price of 65.

NSDL is promoted by NSE, UTI and IDBI. No idea about % holding.

On a value perspective IDBI will become cheap if we add up all the holdings which they hold in different companies and the loan book.. It would be interesting to look at investments in balance sheet of the company. BUt again, when will that value be realised??

Nikhil, do you have details of their investments?

Some value unlocking to happen soon.

From myiris:

After a much speculation over the possible buyouts in Indian stock exchanges like BSE and NSE, the news that US-based global investment banking giant Goldman Sachs and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) buying a 26% stake in National Stock Exchange (NSE), only comes as a breather, reports Economic Times.

IL&FS and IFCI are selling 5% each of their holdings in the exchange to Goldman Sachs and NYSE in two separate deals, which are expected to be signed soon. The two shareholders currently hold 7.1% each in the exchange. IDBI and ICICI Bank, the two other institutional promoters, are also expected to offload part of their holdings in the exchange in subsequent deals, according to sources.

The valuation of the NSE is expected to be over USD 2 billion.

The details of investment are not available in their annual report.. May be they keep it hidden.. But I feel that at 6000 cr, the value is definitely there.. There would be whole host of companies in which IDBI will be having stakes, plus their normal business .. But the question is when the value gets unlocked completely and would they be serious competitor in banking/DFI busines??


Posted By: nav_1996
Date Posted: 10/Jan/2007 at 8:40pm
6000 cr is lot. That is only slightly less than their market cap approximately. I think they are making some quick moves with offering idbipaisabuilder platform to other banks, launching of insurance company, take over of UWB etc. I guess current management is making right moves. They also selling their investments in phased manner adding to their BV. Also, they may be trusted with a huge chunck of Govt pension plans getting them sizeable steady fees income.

Some very positive news from IDBI
---------------------------------
The IDBI Bank will kick-start its insurance joint venture and Rs 1,000-crore private equity fund business within the next three months.

The public sector major has also scheduled its re-entry into the mutual funds business for the latter part of this year even while awaiting Parliamentary clearance for the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) Bill before making a move in the pension fund segment.

While the mutual funds business will be conducted by the bank along with IDBI Capital Markets Ltd, the insurance business will involve Fortis Insurance International NV and private sector lender, Federal Bank.

Outlining the future growth plans of the bank, a senior IDBI official said that the bank will shortly launch a Rs 1,000-crore private equity fund focusing on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and companies in the turnaround mode.

"While RBI approval for the fund is awaited, our board has cleared the proposal to set up the fund," the official said.

The bank is bullish on its insurance business in which it holds a 48 per cent stake followed by Fortis and Federal Bank with 26 per cent stakes each.

-------------------------------------------------------

Real trigger will be managing pension funds. Government is going to hand this over to only PSUs to keep coalition partners happy. Front runners are SBI, IDBI, UTI etc.

Yes, the sale of stake in NSE has stirred the whole sector. Now people would start analysing companies on the basis of realisavble investments.

Does IDBI also have stake in it (ICRA)?

To me these are opportunities for a season. If the assets were so valuable why was the market sleeping for 4 years? Once the stock price comes closer to the NAV(which itself is indetermined) the rally should be over.The trick is to

1) Analyse the NAV first.
2) Predict when they would be sold off
3) Wait for these companies to get the best price for these investments.
 
I think that the process itself is indefinete and while you could have made some decent money buying IFCI in December 2006 think of someone who would have bought the stock in December 2004.

Read on Moneycontrol Message Board. Figures may not be accuarate but gives an idea of IDBI's holdings. IDBI seems to becoming a good value+growth play
--------------------------------------------------------

Fact and figures ….



Equity Rs 724 crs Net profit of Rs 560 crs Investments at book value Rs 25350 crs, in Govt Securities Rs 16500 crs cash Rs 2600 crs investment in shares Rs 2400 crs. Public holding is 14% whereas FII holding is just 13% leaving enough scope for going for a kill in this stock on events unfolding.



IDBI and Fortis Insurance International N. V. (Fortis), one of the largest players in the insurance business in Europe, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a view to setting up a Joint Venture (JV) in the field of Life Insurance business. Apart from its European operations, Fortis has also set up a number of Life Insurance JVs in other countries in Asia. Fortis will bring to the joint venture its unique experience in developing and operating the bancassurance model, which will augment the activities. A third partner will be identified jointly which would bring further strength to he distribution channels, retail client base and also would satisfy the statutory and regulatory requirement.



In terms of extant Guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India, the entire investment portfolio is categorised as "Held to Maturity"," Available for Sale" and "Held for Trading". The investments under each category are further classified as i) Government securities ii) other approved securities iii) Shares iv) Debentures and Bonds v) Subsidiaries / joint ventures vi) Others (CP, Mutual Fund Units, etc.).



What we understand that IDBI is holding following investments though it’s Balance Sheet does not give details of investments……



25% stake in NSDL ( 20 lac shares)



Majority stake in SIDBI



17% stake in NSE



18% stake in Stockholding Corporation ( 38 lac shares )



28% stake in IFCI ….( 18 cr shares)



12 other Govt companies where IDBI has stake which is as of date which can’t be enchased



Need to find out IDBI value….



understand that Finmin has issued a letter of intent to IDBI to sell 15% its 25% stake in NSDL, majority holding in SIDBI, at least 10% from NSE and entire 18% in Stockholding Corporation to raise sizable funds to meet the growing requirement of infrastructure requirement.



NSE stake is now openly valued at Rs 2400 crs i.e Rs 35 per share ……A



NSDL is valued at Rs 800 crs on rough estimates and 15% dilution could mean Rs 110 crs in the hands of IDBI i.e Rs 1.50 per share………B



Equity is Rs 8 crs Res 12 crs, profit Rs 2.9 crs,



Stockholding Corporation Ltd



Equity Rs 21 crs Reserves Rs 151 crs, PAT Rs 23 crs,



It holds 3199998 shares of NSE which is currently valued at Rs 800 crs



It handles more than 1 mn d-mat accounts.



Govt of India recently awarded e-stamping contract to Stockholding Corp after Telgi scam which is estimated roughly in the range of Rs 1.8 to Rs 2.5 lac crores on which a fees of .60% will be awarded to Stockholding Corporation. This will add Rs 10000 crs to the bottom line of Stockholding.



This is discussed because we need to understand the value of Stockholding at which Govt may ask stake sell. Based on the same value IDBI will get its return. Rs 400 alone works out for NSE stake whereas on conservative estimate Rs 1000 per share could fetch for other investments.



38 lac shares into Rs 1400 per share works out to Rs 500 crs in the hands of IDBI. Rs 7 per share…………………………….C



18 cr shares of IFCI could fetch at least 540 crs to IDBI which is around Rs 7.5 per share…………………..D



Sum of A, B, C and D works out to Rs 51 per share whereas cash is already there Rs 30 plus in the Balance Sheet. It means IDBI is available at Rs 16 per share minus cost of investments and life insurance biz coming into.



suggest buying into IDBI with a target price of Rs 150 in next 6 months as investments itself will fetch Rs 50 to 60 per share whereas business valuations should offer Rs 100 per share for the largest Industrial Financial Institution.



Valuations of 12 unlisted Govt firms are not counted along with insurance biz and therefore the aforesaid working should be considered only as guidelines and conservative and more updates will be released as and when more data will be gathered.

IDBI mulls stake sale in institutions

Ashutosh Joshi / Mumbai January 22, 2007



IDBI is exploring the option of selling its stake in premium institutions such as the National Stock Exchange (NSE), National Securities Depository (NSDL), Small Industries Development Bank of India (Sidbi) and Stock Holding Corporation of India (SHCIL).

Enthused by big profits raked in by IFCI (Rs 779 crore for 7 per cent stake) from its stake sale in the NSE, the market buzz is that IDBI is a strong contender for selling its stake in the premier bourse.

When contacted, IDBI Chairman V P Shetty said, “It’s too premature to talk anything in this regard.”

The market buzz, however, refuses to die down, with the IDBI counter attracting big buying interest in recent days. The IDBI stock rose by a handsome 13.46 per cent to Rs 97.75 last week.

After its deal with the NSE, the IFCI scrip was on fire and rose 142.44 per cent in a month to Rs 26.51.

“Many financial institutions and banks are in the process of increasing their net worth by selling equity investments wherever they find good valuations,” investment banking sources said. ICICI Bank diluted its NSE stake and was in the process of finding buyers for its stake in other ventures, they added.

IDBI has 18 per cent stake in SHCIL, 25 per cent in NSDL and around 10-15 per cent in the NSE and Sidbi. According to unofficial estimates, the company could earn nearly Rs 2,400 crore if it sells its NSE stake alone.

The stake sale story is also unfolding at the ICICI Bank counter as well. In recent times, the country’s largest private sector bank was also seen selling stakes in various institutions – Federal Bank, the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX), the NSE, among others. There is a buzz that ICICI Bank is also looking at divesting its stake in 3i Infotech gradually.

Similarly, in the case of IFCI, the buzz is that the ailing Delhi-based financial institution could fetch another Rs 550 crore through an NPA recovery from Malvika Steel alone.

High deposit rates are bad for Banks and good for the customers but I have never heard HDFC Bank lure customers with higher interest rates. heard on TV yesterday that SBI is facing a huge FD maturity in March and all Banks are eyeing those funds hence the rate war.Not that I believe in that logic but it did connect well with (after) the event.

 The demand for deposits with a higher rate of intt is because there is a great demand for loans in the market. Most of the bank's advances portfolio is showing 30-40% growth, where as increase in low cost deposit (Current, SB ) is less than 10%. Banks can only lend around 70% of their deposit. So the gap is filled with Term Deposits(FD,Cash Certicates etc.)
 
For the sake of information, Majority of Banks deposit base have 25-30% share of bulk deposits, which are accepted in a rate higher than the card rate (read normal rate for public.) The prevailing bulk deposit rate is as much as 10% .

  • Thanks Shashi jee for explaining banking terminologies very simply to lay-men.
  • Could you elaborate on LAF? What is it's significance?
  • Interest rates are going up on deposits since there is huge credit (loan) demand and banks need to attract deposits, right?
  • My question to all the furum members is this: As the risk-free interest rate goes up, it is taught to us by Gurus that risk-premium on equities should actually reduce, i.e. PEs should contract. But what we are witnessing is different in India. What are the reasons?

Kulmanji,

Could you elaborate on LAF? What is it's significance?
 
LAF is short form for Liquidity Adjustment Facility.
It is a facility given by RBI, which is used by commercial banks for taking a short term recourse to meet their day-to-day mismatch in liquidity. Now there are two most used practices are "Reverse Repo" and "Repo" given by RBI which falls under LAF.
 
I will try to be very simple.
 
As per Govt guidelines the Banks are required to maintain at least 25% in Govt Bonds as part of their SLR. This 25% will naturally vary from one day to the other considering the vast commercial activities by Banks. Suppose a Bank has more than the required 25% SLR investment on a particular day, but it immediately needs fund for advancing some lons or any other activities where the returns are more than the rate it receives from the investment in SLR Bonds.In such a case the Bank will take advantage of "REPO" by which it will borrow money from RBI pledging the excess securities lying with RBI. Presently the repo rate is 7.25%.
 
In case the Bank is having excess funds and the Bank is not able to deploy it elsewhere where it can get more returns or in case a situation is there that at 3.30Pm in the afternoon the Bank realises that it has excess funds, then the bank can lend the fund to RBI through REVERSE REPO and can get atleast 6% from RBI. The Bank ofcourse can get more returns by deploying the excess fund in call money market or by linding to other Banks.
 
RBI has the right to change the Repo and Reverse Repo rate depending upon the market condition.

****As the risk-free interest rate goes up, it is taught to us by Gurus that risk-premium on equities should actually reduce, i.e. PEs should contract. But what we are witnessing is different in India. What are the reasons?****

 About the above point will you please be a little elaborate ?

1. Thanks Shashi jee, as usual for your post about LAF.

2. About PE contraction due to rise in interest rates, nothing to do with banking industry as such or IDBI. This is a general query. We have seen upward re-rating of stocks due to low interest regime over the past 3~4 years. The question is with rising interest rates, how come there is no PE contraction now? And precisely for this fear, there was sell-off during May'06.

Kulmanji,

The high interest rate has not started yet.

Yesterday only a big loan for a top industrial house was negotiated at 7.8%. Ofcourse it is a short term loan for 30 days.
 
But the way things are going, it seems the intt rate for corporates will rise from here onwards.

Precisely, would it mean we could see in not-so-distant future, re-rating of PE multiples for companies with high gearing/leverage?

IDBI is the best MIDCAP PSU bank. Technologically its much more advanced than other PSU banks. The work culture in this Bank is very good and Bank is doing very well on service parameters. The management has taken lot of initiatives to ensure that the Bank size grows without compromising on asset quality. It’s also concentrating on CASA accounts. The bank is bound to grow and this bank has good quality asset. This Bank book value is 95 Rs and this is trading at 1.07 FY08 Book Value which is very cheap for such a large Bank. It is estimated that the Bank is sitting on good amount of Real Estate at Chennai & various other places whose cost at current market price is 3200-3500 crore. The same has not been revalued on the Balance Sheet. The Bank is best prepared to face Basel II norms. In the PSU Banking sector this is the most undervalued stock. I see the stock matching Bank of India in the near future. Technology vendors like Oracle, i-flex, Infosys rate this Bank as the best PSU Bank in the context of Technology initiatives taken by this Bank. With its massive reach this would give necessary boost to the profits. Any more discussion on IDBI is welcome.Thanks.

More then making money in stocks it is the decision of allocating capital that makes money for us in the markets. I do remember all stocks that people talk or buy - diference between the two is significant because the first part indicates "idea" and the second "conviction".

It is ironic that around the levels that you exited First Global released a report talking about Rs 200 as target price.Again that report indicated - that the brokerages are behind the normal investor.

It is again reaching a point where we can look at IDBI. Do you have any idea about their loan book and NPAs? I have not tracked this since I exited this.
They have not been able to push their CASA and branch network is also not visible in larger cities unlike HDFC, Axis and ICICI.


If you are looking purely at value with respect to BV, you can look at Bajaj Auto Finance. It is quoting at 0.2 BV. This can be a multibagger from here if they get their act together. There are some PSU Banks also at 0.5 BV.

I and my colleague are shifting our home loans to IDBI from Kotak Mahindra. IDBI and it's strategy has been changed a lot in last 2-3 years. I can see aggressiveness in their work, closing deals with speed & minimum hassles for customer. Since merger with UWB it's branch network in Maharashtra has been improved.

nav_1996, what is your take on IDBI these days? i am also monitoring it. I won't be adding it as i have AXIS bank in my portfolio since IPO in 1998.

1) I have taken the home loan 3+ yrs back and i am happy with the rate variation, i find it always at par with industry.
 
2) I have compared the FD interest rates, i find it at par with other banks.
 
3) I am satisified with the overall service. They look bit conservative in loaning procedure but i take it as plus instead of minus.

Sir,

I had opened an account with IDBI capital market.
There are couple of problems here :
1)Both IDBI bank and IDBI capital have facility of demat account,but the agent does not cleary earmark the difference.
In my case :
1)y savings account was with IDBI bank
2)Demat with IDBI capital
3)Trading a/c with idbi capital.
 
Now IDBI bank has very poor cordination with IDBI capital.
IDBI capital was 30 kms away from my place ..(Demat a/c)
IDBI bank 200 mts away.No clear communication of what is where.
It took a hell lot of time for me to demat my shares..:).
 
But the search facility in IDBI capital (stock screeners - good for vaule investors).But again that is overshadowed by old data.

Since margin of safety with growth is an important parameter.

What about Allahabad Bank?
This stock at a price of 40 gives a dividend of Rs 3.50.
P/E is 1.48.
NPA is on the higher side compared to other banks. 0.80 % of advances are NPA's but still is well within control and has reduced considerably.
 
Moreover it has reduced the last quarter profits because of government borrowing for Farmer loan(reason for stock being oversold)..but in the long run this will be added to the profits.
 
Year on year growth rate has been consistent.
This stock seems to be a multibagger considering such a cheap price.
