The brokerage noted that, the bank should get traction as the macro climate improves. "Expect re-rating relative to large private banks to be gradual," it added.
Morgan Stanley further added that, "Expect trends in all three drivers – i.e., NIMs, growth, and credit costs – to turn positive."
The brokerage highlighted that, the extent will be linked to the pace of macro recovery. "Benefits of the bank's strategic decisions could be visible over the next 2-3 years. But until then, expect the valuation gap to remain wide," it added.
Key drivers for structural re-rating will be narrowing of retail deposit growth differentials and loan spreads versus large banks.
