Investment RationaleL-T Finance has de-rated in last 12 months due to its exposure to construction finance, renewable projects, IL-FS and the microfinance segment in East India.The company will be a major beneficiary of the current liquidity crisis in construction finance in the long term, according to UBS.
The valuation of 1.0x FY22 estimated price to book after adjusting for its stake in L-T Mutual Fund is attractive, given its strong rural presence, funding profile, likely market share gains in housing and infrastructure finance and healthy return on equity of 16% plus, said the brokerage.
