|

Brokerage firm Dynamic Levels has strongly recommended buying the stock of Micro Finance Institution, Bharat Financial Inclusion with a price target of Rs 910 in the short term and Rs 1,150 for the long term. Here are some reasons on why the brokerage firm is bullish on the stock.

 

Huge demand-supply gap

Huge demand-supply gap

The Microfinance Industry (MFI) continues to be one of the sectors in India that has a huge potential for sustainable growth, based on industry reports. The MFI industry  grew by 84% YoY, while the disbursements during the year grew by 65% in FY16.

The industry grew by 69% in FY15 and 47% in FY14. As on March 2016, the MFI industry served 3.25 crore clients.

World Bank and EDA Rural Systems' reports indicate that 150 million households in India require microcredit with an average credit requirement per household at Rs 20,000. This translates into an annual aggregate demand of Rs 2,40,000 crore for microcredit in India. Hence there is a huge demand-supply gap.

Market leadership
 

Market leadership

Bharat Financial Inclusion is the second largest MFI in India by Gross Loan Portfolio. The Company believes that its consistent position among the leading MFIs in the microfinance sector enhances its reputation.

Bharat Financials also has the lowest lending rate (19.75%) amongst private sector MFIs. The lending rate of the company is lower by 2.25-4% than the lending rate of other major NBFC-MFIs in India.

Improving profitability, stable financial condition

Although Bharat Financials' condition deteriorated in the aftermath of events in Andhra Pradesh and the Company incurred losses during FY12 and FY13, the Company satisfied all its debt repayment obligations even during the Andhra Pradesh microfinance situation, that is, in FY12 and FY13, and thereafter.

Its revenues grew at a CAGR of 55.3% from FY13 to FY16, and the Company reported a profit of 303 crores for FY16, the third consecutive year of profit post the turnaround.
