Today’s top research idea
HDFC: Superior execution; consistent performance
Core RoE ~18% I Value of subsidiaries increasing
HDFC is not just a play on rising mortgage penetration, but also on increasing
financial literacy and financialization of savings in India. Having incubated
several subsidiaries over the past two decades, HDFC derives almost 50% of its
value from its subsidiaries, up from ~30% in FY13. In addition, there are still
some segments, like health insurance, where HDFC is to yet to enter.
The core mortgage business is on a stable growth trajectory, despite intensifying
competition. The corporate lending business, on the other hand, has witnessed a
revival over the past few quarters, after 3-4 years of modest growth.
HDFC is well equipped to take care of its own growth and growth capital
requirement of subsidiaries, with (a) large capital issuance of INR130b, (b)
expected warrant conversion of INR53.9b, and (c) capital gains from HDFCMF
(INR15b+). Of this, we expect INR85b to be utilized for HDFCB stake (already
announced) and INR45b for other ventures (new segments like health insurance,
stressed asset acquisition, investments in affordable housing projects, etc). As
there are no firm announcements for INR45b, we have valued it at 1x cash.
Despite the huge capital raising, HDFC will still maintain core RoE of ~18% over
the medium term. We use SOTP to value the company (core business at 20x
EPS and 3.2x BV) and arrive at a TP of INR2,225. Buy.
