Why did RBL Bank stock fall post results?

• When apperantly seen, net NPA numbers can demonstrate the muted record of NPAs. But according to the commentary by Mr.Ahuja, MD & CEO of RBL Bank, there is a likelyhood of increase in the NPA numbers of the bank in coming 2-3 quarters.
• As far as bank’s portfolio is taken into the consideration, a certain level of stressed assets have emerged out. Due to a few of the stressed assets, bank’s Gross NPA can go up to 2-2.2%. As a result, credit cost can boost up to 35-40 basis points in coming quarters as per the requirement by the bank.
• A very high level of leverage have been given to the borrower companies relative to the performance level and repayment capacity of these companies.
• Mr. Ahuja has signalled for a possibility of erosion of the bank’s asset value in such kind of future stressed situation. As a result, the bank can face more accute challenges due to the associated risk in its portfolio.
• Therefore, RBL bank may need a time for the recovery of the probable stressed assets in near future.
• In the consequence of these commentary statements by the bank’s MD focusing on the concerns over bank’s future stressed assets, the market has given negative reaction for the RBL Bank stock. The stock has seen a fall of almost 13% despite posting 41% y-o-y growth in the Net profits.
