Macquarie: Downgrade to Underperform| Target: 165
Macquarie has double-downgraded Yes Bank stock to Underperform with a target price of Rs 165 which translates into a downside of 30 percent from current levels.
"We must eat humble pie today and admit we underestimated risks in structured finance. We got the call wrong. We draw upon our learnings from how Axis Bank handled its watchlist disclosures, and now built in a significantly more conservative slippage and credit cost estimate over FY20-22E, more than double the management’s guidance," Macquarie said in a note.
Over the past eight years we have been constructive on YES Bank’s ability to not just survive, but to thrive in a risky business segment like structured finance, the global investment bank said.
Macquarie slashed FY20-21E EPS by 45 percent each. "We have built in capital raise of Rs 35 billion at Rs 200/share in FY20."
