By Aditya Raghunath
Investing.com -- Bank of Baroda Ltd (NS: BOB ) reported a loss of Rs 1,046.5 crore for the quarter ended March 2021 compared to a profit of Rs 506.59 crore in the corresponding quarter in 2020. Tax cost for March 2021 quarter was Rs 3,726.07 crore against a tax writeback of Rs 2,229.85 crore in the March 2020 quarter.
Net interest income, however, grew 4.5% to Rs 7,106.62 crore in the March 2021 quarter, and credit grew at 1.83% to Rs 7.51 lakh crore. The bank’s stop price fell 3.82% to Rs 80.65 today.
However, global brokerage firm CLSA said that the stock can hit Rs 130 in 6-12 months. It said, “It was a better-than-expected Q4 performance. The Q4 surprised positively with <50 bps of slippage and strong adjusted NII performance.”
JP Morgan increased its target to Rs 110 and maintained its overweight rating on the stock. It said slippages will continue to trend down in FY22.
Credit Suisse (SIX: CSGN ) retained its neutral rating and said that there is still a lot of stress in the small and medium enterprises growth book, and there is uncertainty about the second pandemic wave. It estimates that credit costs will continue to remain high. Its target for Bank of Baroda stock is Rs 75.
