Comments

 

While the overall numbers do look impressive on a YoY basis, there are clear signs of stress on a QoQ basis. Increase in cost of fund and falling net interest margins reflect these concerns. Apart from that the quality of earnings have also deteriorated.

Other income, which is largely constituted by ‘core fee income’ as a percentage of operating profit has increased from 69 per cent in June 2011 to 79 per cent in June 2012.
