Consequently, we prefer ICICIBC, AXSB and KMB amongst the large caps. We prefer CUBK amongst the pack of smaller regional banks. We maintain our REDUCE rating on RBK and KVB, despite their sharp underperformance. Recent events (YES and COVID-19) are likely to have multiple order and far reaching impacts on the banking sector. COVID-19 will obviously impact growth and asset quality. The events at YES have impacted depositor sentiment, causing them to become more risk-averse, we believe. Consequently, the less obvious (but equally important) impact is expected to play out on the liabilities side. In such a scenario, we believe deposit flows will become more polarised. Larger banks, with strong granular liability franchises, reasonable asset quality performance and sufficient capital are likely to emerge stronger.
