Anand Rathi Report

Union Bank of India’s strong Q3 profitability with ~1.07% return on asset was backed by stable operating performance and modest provisions. Key positives were-

  1. sharp gross non-performing asset improvement (down 155 basis points QoQ),

  2. healthy, ~7% QoQ, loan growth,

  3. sustained 1%+ RoA,

  4. strong liquidity and capitalisation.

With healthy credit growth persisting and modest credit costs, Union Bank of India’s earnings are expected to be robust.

We retain our positive view with a 12-month target price of Rs 166, one time price/book value on the FY26E book.

Risks: Lumpy slippages in the corporate book; less-than-expected credit growth.
