Institutional Desk - Banking Sector- 3QFY18 Result Preview- IBC-linked Provisions a Key Differentiator For The Rest Of FY18: The quantum of  credit exposure to the Reserve Bank of India or RBI’s first list (top 12) and second list (next 28) of stressed borrowers and provision on such exposure will be a key differentiator in provisioning required for key corporate-focused banks  for the remainder of FY18. In this regard, we note that while Axis Bank, State Bank of India (SBI) and Punjab National Bank (PNB) have reasonable provision coverage on the entities in the RBI’s twin lists, ICICI Bank and Bank of Baroda (BoB) are lagging behind in this regard. Further we note that asset-retailised  banks (HDFC Bank, IndusInd Bank), Yes Bank and Federal Bank are expected to post strong organic balance sheet growth in 3QFY18E, leading to higher profitability. Another key trend is soft treasury profits on the investment book. For non-banking financial companies or NBFCs, the impact of higher cost of market borrowing will be cushioned by lower re-pricing of legacy long-dated borrowing.

Institutional Desk - FMCG Sector- 3QFY18 Result Preview- Encouraging Growth Trends To Continue: We expect the growth momentum in our Home and Personal care (HPC) coverage universe to continue in 3QFY18 as well and expect to report a top-line growth of 11% YoY. The favourable base because of demonetisation in the same period last year, stabilisation of trade channels after Goods and Services Tax or GST implementation and early signs of recovery in rural markets are likely to be some key growth drivers. On margins front, almost all companies are likely to report an expansion because of strong cost control measures, but select players like Hindustan Unilever (HUL) and Gillette India will be additionally benefitted because of strong premiumisation play. Overall, we expect our coverage universe to report operating profit growth of 25% and earnings growth of 19% for the quarter YoY.
