With a new indiv. tax code and Axis Bank embracing open architecture we expect business growth momentum to slow down in FY21-22E. Additionally, we continue to watch out for the renewal of partnership with Axis Bank. We rate MAXF a BUY with an changed TP of Rs 560 (MAXL: Dec-20E EV + 18.8x FY22E VNB). We use a holding company discount of 30%, continue with a 22% discount on VNB for Axis Bank deal, and a 10x multiple to annual leakage at the holding co level. Key risks include lower growth, higher cost over-runs, and supply overhang as a result of promoter pledges. MAXL reported in-line nos with total APE growing 16.0% YoY and 9MFY20 VNB margin was at 21.0% (+60bps YoY)- high costs continue to weigh on margins. We maintain our BUY with TP of Rs 560.
