REC Ltd. share price target

Rural Electrification Corp’s (RECL) 1QFY26 PAT grew ~29% YoY to INR44.5b (~8% beat). NII grew ~19% YoY to ~INR55.7b (in line).

REC reported a healthy Q1 with its loan assets growing 3% QoQ despite a seasonally weak quarter. Calculated credit cost (annualised) was negative 43bps with the restructuring of the TRN Energy account, which led to an ECL reversal of INR 2.7bn. NIMs and spreads were higher in Q1 vs. FY25 levels.

REC reported a soft quarter, with moderating growth and disbursement led by higher repayments (including prepayments) and NPA resolutions, while margin and asset quality were stable.

Rural Electrification Corp (RECL)’s 3QFY25 PAT grew ~23% YoY to INR40.3b. NII grew ~20% YoY to ~INR51.3b. Other income rose ~260% YoY to~INR2b.

REC reported a satisfactory quarter in terms of margins, credit cost, and asset quality, while growth in Q3 was a tad below expectations on account of higher repayment and resolution of NPAs; however, disbursement remained strong.

We recommend a BUY on the stock with a target price of Rs 530/share, implying an upside of 11% from the CMP.

Asset quality continued to remain under pressure as Gross non-performing assets (NPA) ratio increased by 97 bps QoQ to 8.1% in Q1FY19. However, RECL had to make incremental provisions of Rs5,800cr under IND-AS, consequently, provision coverage ratio (PCR) improved by 2685 bps QoQ to 47.4%. It also helped the company to improve Net NPA ratio by 141 bps sequentially to 4.3%. The company also provided Rs1,700cr against standard private exposure which provides further comfort. However, with ~60% of private sector marked as stress assets, we believe that the company's asset quality will improve gradually...

Asset quality deteriorated significantly as Gross/Net non-performing asset (NPA) ratio increased by 45/37 bps QoQ to 3.0%/2.0% in Q3FY18 mainly led by slippages of Lanco Anpara where it has exposure of ~Rs1,250cr. However, gross restructured assets declined by 9% QoQ following upgrade in public sector unit (PSU). As per management, some more PSU restructured accounts are likely to get upgraded in future. However, given the uncertainty surrounding private restructured assets (Rs12,644cr), we expect the company's...
