Robinhood shares gain on Q2 beat, as user and crypto growth accelerate
On Thursday, CLSA analyst Piran Engineer revised the price target for IndusInd Bank (NSE:INBK) Ltd (IIB:IN) shares to INR725 from the previous INR780, while sustaining a Hold rating on the stock. The adjustment follows IndusInd Bank’s disclosure of a fourth-quarter fiscal year 2025 loss amounting to Rs22 billion, attributed to a decrease in core profitability and various one-time charges.
IndusInd Bank’s quarterly loss was notably impacted by a Rs20 billion hit from foreign exchange derivatives and a Rs7 billion impact from microfinance institution (MFI) interest income. Additional one-time factors included a Rs1.7 billion reversal of overstated MFI fee income from the first nine months of FY25 and a misclassification of asset quality in the MFI segment. This misclassification resulted in an additional Rs19 billion recognition of gross non-performing loans (GNPLs) and Rs1.8 billion in interest reversals.
During a conference call, the bank’s chairman announced that the Reserve Bank of India (NSE:BOI) (RBI) has requested the submission of names for the managing director and chief executive officer positions by June 20. He emphasized that the bank has conducted a thorough review of its books and internal processes, and all necessary financial adjustments have been made.
Looking ahead, the bank provided guidance indicating an expected improvement in MFI slippages during the first half of fiscal year 2026 and a normalization in the second half. In response to these developments, CLSA has reduced its profit after tax (PAT) estimates for IndusInd Bank by 42% for FY26 and by 28% for FY27. Consequently, the firm has lowered its target price to INR725, based on 0.8 times the projected price-to-book value (PB) for an estimated 6-8% return on equity (ROE). The Hold rating has been maintained by the firm.
