Commenting on the same, Amar Ambani, Head of Research, IIFL, said, “LIC Housing Finance’s Q2 FY16 performance was stronger-than-expected with robust NII growth of 34% yoy and net profit increasing by 19% yoy. A combination of brisk loan growth, margin expansion and stable credit cost should drive significant earnings growth for the company over the next couple of years. RoA is estimated to improve materially from the current cyclical low of 1.3%. Valuation at 2.2x FY17E P/BV remains attractive in the above context.
