BQ Blue’s special research section collates quality and in-depth equity and economy research reports from across India’s top brokerages. These reports offer BloombergQuint’s subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy.

Dolat Capital Report

Canara Bank reported net interest income and pre-provision operating profit (PPoP) growth of 21% and 32% YoY respectively on an amalgamated basis, driven by muted slippages, higher treasury gains and sharp decline in cost of funds.

Moratorium levels stood at 22% in June against 17% in May for standalone Canara Bank. The amalgamation resulted in sharp erosion in net worth with Common Equity Tier (CET1) ratio declining by 330 basis points QoQ to 6.2% for Syndicate Bank and 8.4% for the merged entity as of April 1, 2020.

Core equity ratio further declined to 8.15% in Q1 FY21 for the amalgamated entity.

We remain concerned over immediate challenges on capital and integration front, apart from asset quality worries. Moreover, weak operating metrics (PPoP/assets at 1.4%) and low provision buffers (0.2% of advances) provided little comfort.
