Outlines
📈 Current Market Opportunities: Undervalued Sectors
The Nifty index is at an all-time high, and many popular stocks have become overvalued. However, some sectors like private banks, small finance banks, housing finance companies, brokerages, IT, and healthcare are still undervalued. In this segment, the speaker highlights that opportunities remain, particularly in finance and banking stocks. They discuss the potential of Sury Small Finance Bank, citing its low PE ratio, strong growth in loans and deposits, and improvement in asset quality. However, there are concerns about its high exposure to unsecured loans and regional concentration, which might affect its performance in the long term.
📚 Importance of Research: Learn to Make Informed Investment Decisions
The speaker emphasizes the importance of doing your own research before investing in stocks. They suggest that without a clear understanding of why a stock is being bought, investors may hold onto losers or sell winners too soon. To help with research, the speaker recommends the book 'Stock Investing Mastermind' by Zebra. This book provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing stocks, covering key areas such as financial statements, stock valuation, and investment strategies. The goal is to empower investors to make better decisions with a structured, step-by-step approach.
🏠 Housing Finance Stocks: Avas Financiers Analysis
The speaker introduces Avas Financiers, a housing finance company that serves low and medium-income segments in semi-urban and rural areas. Avas has seen solid growth in its loan book and net profit. Despite a slight increase in borrowing costs and a reduction in net interest margin, the company has maintained a healthy spread and asset quality. While the housing finance sector faces challenges, the speaker sees potential in Avas, which has delivered consistent growth over the years. They conclude by noting a possible 30% upside based on technical patterns but refrain from making any recommendations.
🏦 The State of Banking Stocks: Axis Bank Performance
Despite the market being at an all-time high, banking stocks, including Axis Bank, have underperformed. The speaker explains that the banking industry is grappling with slow deposit growth and higher interest rates, which have affected net interest margins. Although Axis Bank has shown improvement in asset quality and maintained its strong position as the third-largest private bank in India, its Q1 results were not particularly impressive. However, the speaker remains optimistic about the long-term growth potential of large private banks, as they are critical for economic growth and could benefit from expected interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve.

Transcripts
friends Nifty is at all-time high and
many good stocks have already given
three-digit run up and most of the
popular stocks are overvalued now does
that mean all the good opportunities are
gone no opportunities are always there
there are still some sectors that are
yet to perform and are undervalued these
sectors include private Banks small
Finance Banks housing finance companies
brokerages it sector stocks and
Healthcare we should be focusing on
these sectors right now that's why today
I'll be talking about five undervalued
finance and banking stocks and discuss
their pros and cons but are these stocks
best stocks to invest in 2024 or they
are potential multibagger stocks that I
will leave on you to decide because
there is not going to be any
recommendation from my end use this
video only as a reference for your
research let's get started so the first
stock is Sur small Finance bank it's a
small cap stock with only 2,000 CR
market cap the current PE is 8.5 which
is lower than its 5year median PE and
lower than the industry average PE also
Price to Book is only 1.13 and the
intrinsic value of the stock is higher
than its current price so we can say
that this stock is undervalued Sury has
also posted great quarter one results
its advances grew 41.8% year on-ear and
4.5% quarter on quarter which is very
good the growth in disbursement of loan
is also very good 46.3% year- on-ear
further the management has given a
growth guidance of 30 30 to 35 persons
in advances now it's important to look
at the credit mix see jgl and Vias loan
they constitute 58% of sur's total loan
book and they are unsecured micr Finance
Loans both of these loans are covered
under CG fmu CG fmu is basically a
government scheme under which loans are
guaranteed by government of India up to
75% this means that the lending
institutions can recover 75% of the loan
amount from the government if the loan
defaults apart from this 58% jgl and
Vias loan 42% of sures loan book are
secured retail loans and as per the con
calls the management aims to improve the
secured loan book to 45% in the first
stage and eventually increase to 50%
this would help in improving asset
quality in fact in case of small Finance
Banks they especially deal with the
challenge of deteriorating asset quality
so in case of small Finance Bank stocks
it is actually a good idea to pick the
one which has higher exposure in secured
loans considering that you can watch out
another stock called jna small Finance
Bank as it has an exposure of 62% in
secured loans compared to 42% of Sur
coming back to Sur Bank it has also
shown Improvement in asset quality the
gross NPA has reduced from 3% last year
to only 2.7% and net NPA is reduced to
only 0.4% from last year's 1.6% now
banking industry in general is facing
the challenge of growth in deposits but
Sur is doing good here also we can see a
42.2% growth in total deposits year
on-ear and 4.6% growth quarter on
quarter and this growth is driven by
increase in Kasa deposits which grew 68%
year on-ear which is amazing but now
they have given a Kasa growth guidance
of 20% only and deposits growth guidance
of 40 to 45% which is good again also
currently they have a total asset of
about 9,000 crores which they aim to
increase to 25,000 crores to be able to
apply Universal banking license in
future rest we can see a good growth in
net profit 47.2% year on-ear Roa is 2.3%
and Roe 15.2% so we saw good earnings
growth Improvement in asset quality
great growth guidance low PE but now
let's look at the problems also so Sur
has total 701 banking outlets and we can
see that the concentration of these
branches is very high in three top
states the management also acknowledges
that they need to reduce exposure in
these three states to reduce risk due to
seasonal factors in Northern India and
Tamil Nadu their collection efficiency
also declined which they need to work on
their cost of borrowings and their cost
of funds have also increased increased
which has affected the net interest
margin also as we can see a slight
degrowth of five basis points year on
year now for controlling asset quality
management says that they are going to
increase their secured loan book but
this will affect the net interest margin
because the interest rates in case of
secured loans is comparatively lower
that's why in coming quarters we can see
the NIMS go down from 10% to about 8 to
88.5% also we have to keep this in mind
plus of course currently there 58%
person exposure to unsecured loans is
quite high so friends I share my
analysis and discuss the pros and cons
but to decide whether to buy the stock
or not you have to do your own research
because if you are not clear why you are
buying the stock then you will not be
able to sell the stock on time and end
up holding the losers for too long and
selling the winners too early so to
learn how to research all the aspects of
the stocks be it financials annual
report management industry Etc you can
read Stock Investing Mastermind by zebra

stock value to get 15% off the link of
the book is given in description and
printed comment moving on to the next
talk it is a Housing Finance Company AAS
financiers see India's housing sector is
set for 10% CGR growth over the next 3
to 5 years plus the housing finance
companies can be benefited by interest
rate cuts by RBI so we need to watch out
the Housing Finance stocks see if you
get the latest baj Housing Finance IPO
then it is great because the numbers
I've seen are good and the parent
company is baj so we have a certain
reliability but in case we don't get the
IPO then it could be little tricky to
make a good entry at low valuation so we
should check out other good options as
well like AP value Housing Finance adhar
Housing Finance AAS financiers Etc but
today I'm going to to analyze avas
financiers avas provides housing loan to
people from low and medium income
segments in semi-urban and rural areas
AAS financiers loan book grew 22% year
on- year and Loan disbursement also grew
133% year on year the net profit grew
15% year on year in fact the net profit
has grown at a rate of 32% cagr in the
last 7 years which is very good if you
look at the loan dispersement breakup
then
66.8% loans dispersed in quarter 1 was
Home Loans followed by other mortgage
loans then msme loans which are again
secured by mortgage now we can see a
slight increase in cost of borrowings to
8.08% compared to June 2023 and the
spread that has reduced from
5.6% last June quarter to 5% but
considering the high competition in the
Housing Finance sector 5% is not bad and
the management is confident to maintain
its spread to about 5% which which is
good we can see a slight degrowth in net
interest margin to 7.31 per versus 8% of
last year's first quarter Roe is 13.14%
versus 12.49% of q1 f524 the credit cost
has increased by 51.2% year on-ear this
is mostly attributed for potential
future losses if we talk about asset
quality then they have been able to
maintain the gross NPA around 1% so it
is okay they have given an AUM growth
guidance of 20 to 25% % Plus in the
latest quarter the operating expenditure
to asset ratio is about
3.27% which they have given a long-term
guidance to reduce to 3% we saw advances
growth of 22% pad growth of 15% year on
year which is good but not very
impressive plus slight degrowth in net
interest margin Roa but last two 2 and a
half years has not been very good for
housing finance companies considering
that overall the business looks good let
me know your thoughts on it if if you
look at the technicals currently we can
even see a double bottom pattern forming
so considering only the technicals we
can see a potential of about 30% but
nothing is a recommendation moving on to
the next banking stock which is access
bank see in last one year this stock has
given only about 18% returns and
currently it has a PE level of 13.9
which is lower than its 5year median PE
but slightly over the industry PE of
11.65 but compared to its peers it looks
undervalued but if we talk about why
such low valuation or why many banking
stocks haven't been performing so well
when the market is at all-time high then
friends the whole banking industry is
struggling with deposits growth and over
that the rbi's interest rates are also
at all-time high due to which the cost
of borrowing of the banks has also
increased this is affecting their net
interest margin meaning the earnings of
the banks are getting impacted this has
been the reason behind the
non-performance of the banks but friends
in the end banks are the pillars of an
economy for an economy to grow the banks
have to grow plus since the beginning of
this year FIS have been pulling out
their money from the Indian market but
now US Federal Reserve is going to start
cutting rate from September itself So
eventually as the interest rates are cut
we can expect the fii money to come back
in Indian markets and private Banks
could be the biggest beneficiaries I
think that compared to PSU Banks private
Banks can still show us a good runup in
the medium to long term in fact right
now many big private sector banks are
deeply undervalued so right now in the
market large cap private sector Banks
could be safer bets which still have
potential to give about 15% CHR in the
next 2 to 3 years this is not a
recommendation just my opinion now among
the biggest private sector Banks ICI has
already hit its all-time high HDFC and
kotak are great and deeply undervalued
I've already discussed about these
stocks in my previous videos so the next
is access Bank let's analyze it the
year-on-year advances growth is 14% And
net profit grew only 4% year on year net
interest margins contracted five basis
points on year on-ear asset quality has
improved year on-ear basis basically
overall there's nothing very impressive
in the uh q1 result of access bank but
still it's the third largest private
bank in India its revenues are at
alltime high net profit at alltime high
we saw the asset quality improving yeah
we can say the q1 result wasn't impr
impressive or as good as expected but
overall it is looking okay currently it
is still down about 10% from its top and
it is respecting this strong support
trend line apart from this the fourth
stock is idfc First Bank it is still
trading near its 52 we low I have
already made a detailed video on it to
show if the reasons behind its draw down
are temporary or not so to see the full
analysis do watch the video from the eye
button and SBI cards also I had made a
video earlier this is another stock that
we need to watch out the updated
analysis of this talk I will post in my
paid member Community you may consider
joining it that is all for today friends
