Though we continue to admire core operating performance and business franchise of ICICI Bank but near term headwinds clearly indicate more downside for the stock in the coming months. We expect asset quality stress to persist for the bank over next 2-3 quarters along with elevated credit costs. This would keep RoAs muted at ~1.5-1.6% and RoEs at ~12-13% over FY16-17E.
