ICICI<\/span>
Target Price: 1550<\/span>
ICICIB delivered steady growth in a challenging environment, with credit costs at 37bp, lower-than-expected slippages & RoA of 2.36%. 9MFY25 advances growth at 11% YoY, continues to outpace peers. PAT for 3QFY25 grew 15% YoY, driven by lower-than-expected provisions & controlled opex. NII grew 9.1% YoY, led by fee income growth of 16.3% YoY while treasury gains stood at \u20b93.71b. The bank\u2019s strong cost control and asset quality stability offer continued growth potential. With expected RoA\/RoE of 2.2%\/16.8% in FY27, the bank remains well-positioned to sustain healthy performance and profitability.
JK Cement<\/span>
Target Price: 5630<\/span>
JK Cement delivered above estimated results led by higher other operating income & high volume growth, especially white cement (up 6% YoY). EBITDA\/t was INR1,010 vs. our estimate of INR943\/t. With its consistent capacity additions and cost-saving strategies, and increasing market share in new regions, JK Cement remains one of the top picks in the cement space. We expect its revenue\/EBITDA to post 9%\/12% CAGR by FY27E, driven by 10-15% growth in Govt Capex in FY26E & rising market share of its premium products over next two years. Management expects volume growth of 7-8% in 4QFY25 and ~10% in FY26.
