Outlook :
Suryoday SFB is among the leading SFBs in India in terms of net interest margins, return on assets, yields, and deposit growth and had the lowest cost-to-income ratio among SFBs in India in Fiscal 2020. Total assets show consistent growth.
Over the years, it has recorded a CAGR of 47.98%. This can be because of the fact that the gross loan portfolio of Suryoday has shown a CAGR of 46.98% over the past two years, from FY 2018 to FY 2020. The deposits, too, have shown a CAGR of 94.95%. From Rs. 749.52 crores in FY 2018, it has grown to Rs. 2,848.71 crores in FY 2020.
In fact, as of FY 2020, 54.44% of the total deposits came from the retail category. The net profit earned shows an overall increase, but in FY 2017 and FY 2018, the figures show a dip. The CAGR, in this case, is 47.05%. Over the past six years, the company has recorded a positive net cash flow from operating activities in only two years.
The rest of the year is characterized by the increasing negative value of net operating cash flow. This market is dominated by the top three small finance banks – AU, Equitas, and Ujjivan. Together, these three banks accounted for about 63% of the total assets under management in 2020.
Overall, there is significant growth expected in the near future. The deposit base of small finance banks increased by about 48% in FY 2020. A CAGR of 22% is predicted in the loan portfolio in this market. This growth is based on the fact that the Indian economy is focusing on the growth of the banking sector and financial inclusion. There is a significant market opportunity in the rural parts of the country.
Suryoday SFB is showing decent growth in both revenue and profit front whereas there is an improvement on the margin front as well. Over the period FY18-20, Gross Loan Portfolio, and Deposits have grown at a CAGR of 46.98% and 94.95% respectively.
If we talk about valuation then at the upper band the PE ratio works out to be around 23 while the PB ratio is around 2.3 which is in line with peers. This business has good growth potential amid a strong Indian economic growth outlook but it has its own systematic risks. Though valuation is not very lucrative by looking at strong growth in financials.
