Bandhan Bank sees ₹200 crore hit to third-party income from Irdai’s proposed distribution overhaul
Bandhan Bank set out an expansion in a mutual funds development.
· LiveMint Companies
The lender expects to recoup most of the potential loss by expanding insurance sales in smaller towns and pushing mutual fund distribution.
The analysis
Bandhan Bank reported ₹200 crore. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Against that, the stock is -4.6% on the day at ₹154.33, and has returned -10.7% over three months. It sits 29% below its 52-week high, which means a good deal of bad news was already in the price. The banks sector has moved -6.0% over the same period, so Bandhan Bank is running 4.7 points behind its peers.
For Bandhan Bank, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the banks peer set alongside it.
