Asia FX dithers as dollar steadies before Powell speech; yen muted after CPI data
Investing.com - Macquarie has downgraded IndusInd Bank (NSE:INBK) Ltd (NSE:IIB) from Outperform to Underperform and significantly reduced its price target to INR650.00 from INR1,210.00.
The rating change follows the discovery of fraud and corporate governance issues at the bank, which Macquarie believes will have substantial operational impacts.
The investment firm expects IndusInd Bank to reduce its microfinance institution (MFI) portfolio and take a more cautious approach to building its asset base going forward.
Macquarie also anticipates the bank will face challenges in growing its retail liability franchise, leading to lower margins and higher credit costs.
The firm has reduced its sustainable return on assets (ROA) expectations for IndusInd Bank to 1% and noted that the appointment of a new CEO is another important factor to monitor.
