“The strong growth trajectory, coupled with a slight margin uptick and meaningful reduction in GNPA ratio is what we like. We believe the recent board approval of the MD’s term extension by 3 years is positive amid investor concerns about the MD likely not seeking a term extension. RBI approval, too, is keenly awaited, but we reckon it may not be a major hurdle,” said Emkay in an earnings review note.
