Why should investors Book Profits?

  • Decline in Net Interest Margin (NIM): The company has reported a decrease in net interest margin to 2.89% in FY21 from 3.18% in FY19. Compared to the industry median of 3.21%, it also operates at a lower margin. When interest rates rise, loans become more expensive, making savings a more appealing option, and net interest margins fall.
  • Fall in Deposits Growth: The company reported a decrease in deposits growth of 9.0% in FY21 vs. 17.1% in FY20, indicating problems in liquidity management.
  • Drop-in Loans: The company reported a 1.34% decline in total loans to USD 13.60 billion as of December 31, 2021, compared to USD 13.79 billion as of December 31, 2020, which could impact the asset side of the company's balance sheet.
