Financial Services, the non-bank lending arm of HDFC Bank, is expected to soon launch a Rs 12,000-crore IPO. According to a report by Macquarie Capital, while the non-bank lender commands valuations similar to Bajaj Finance in the unlisted markets, its return on assets is 30% lower than Bajaj Finance.
The company is a good bet based on its potential for an improvement in return on assets driven by margin expansion, and lower credit costs given its best-in-class underwriting standards, says the brokerage.
