While DCBB's asset quality slip in 1Q exceeded seasonal trends, our faith is not fully shaken, given management's conservative stance and stellar record across cycles. Our earnings estimates fall by ~8% over FY20-21E to factor in slower growth and NIM compression, with no change in asset quality trajectory. However, valuations are ample at 2.1x FY21E ABV (RoAA ~1.1%). DOWNGRADE to NEUTRAL, despite DCBB's multi-year growth/compounding promise. Our stance is premised on (1) The substantial jump in stress (GNPAs up 8% QoQ), (2) Growth slowing, (unexpectedly) to 13/2% on a small base, and (3) NIM compression 11bps QoQ, that can linger. We are constrained to downgrade DCB Bank (DCBB) to NEUTRAL with a TP of Rs 234 (2x Jun-21E ABV of Rs 117) post a disappointing show in 1QFY20.
