IndusInd Bank Ltd.'s share price fell to hit its lowest in more than two years after UBS cut its target price and earnings per share estimates for the stock, as it factors in higher credit costs for the lender.
While maintaining a 'neutral' rating, it has lowered its target to Rs 1,150 from Rs 1,350 earlier, implying 15.2% upside.
"Following up on our earlier study on unsecured loans, we observe that select segments, namely small borrowers (within MSME), commercial vehicles loans and business loans are witnessing increased risk of non-performing loans," UBS said.
HDFC Bank Ltd., ICICI Bank Ltd. and Federal Bank are the brokerage's top picks in the sector.
