**[investwise]** Andhra Bank-Buy (FY10 EPS Rs 21; ABV-1, Dividend Yield 5%)

 

We expect net interest income (NII) to grow 25% YoY (~10% QoQ) to Rs5.7b due to improved margins backed by falling cost of deposits. On a low base, we expect loan growth to remain strong at 20%+ YoY.

 

􀂄 We expect lower other income, led by both lower trading gains (~50% sequential decline) and muted fee income growth. Fees growth will stay dismal (QoQ and YoY) considering the high base.

 

􀂄 Provisions were lower in 2QFY10 due to depreciation write back of Rs165m on investments. We have modeled higher provisions for NPAs conservatively for 3QFY10.

 

􀂄 Operating expenses are expected to remain flat YoY and QoQ. 3QFY09 and 2QFY10 had a provision for wage revisions at ~Rs200m.

 

􀂄 The stock trades at 1x FY11E BV and 0.9x FY12E BV. The stock also offers an attractive dividend yield of ~4.9%.
