Short-term headwind, long-term opportunities for investors: 4 small finance banks with upside potential of up to 35%
The increase in credit costs has been an issue which has been bothering banks, some more, some less. Even the chairman of India’s largest bank had to come out and give a statement regarding it. However the question arises when these headwinds which are periodic in nature and part of the business cycle hits any sector what should be done. Should one move out of the sector? Should one continue to stay invested or should one buy more of the stock of that sector. The answer is dependent on one simple factor which is how large is the opportunity which that sector has. If the answer is that the opportunity is very large, then probably, it is the second and third option which one may look at. Probably in case of small finance banks, which are today reeling under the pressure due to guidance by one bank fit the bill. These banks are no stranger to dealing with challenges since the time they were born. Challenges thrown by regulatory tightening and economic cycles.

Are fears and panic around PSUs overblown? Sandip Sabharwal answers
Ideally, they should not be able to because like you rightly said, it is more commoditised. In fact, you look at the reason why did HDFC merge into HDFC Bank, because they realised that the margins are going to get squeezed and if they do not have a low-cost deposit franchise which supports the margin squeeze, that will become tougher.So, many of these housing finance companies sustain higher margins to develop financing, loan against property, etc, which are higher margin, but then also carry higher risk.
