Bank of Baroda (BOB IN) – A Diamond in the Rough, on the Sidelines of the HDFC Bank-HDFC Merger
- The investor spotlight is on the HDFC Bank-HDFC merger, and we continue to favour HDFC Bank with its positive passive investor momentum, premium returns and merger synergy potential
- Bank of Baroda, although not in the limelight like HDFC bank, is our value stand-out among the Indian bank peer group and it warrants increasing investor attention, in our view
- Bank of Baroda is delivering on improving asset quality and returns; the shares have positive momentum, and we see great value on its 1x PBV ratio to ROE of 15%
