Equitymaster's view on IndusInd Bank

We reached out to Tanushree Banerjee, editor of StockSelect at Equitymaster, on what she has to say about the lender's performance.

Here's Tanushree:

IndusInd Bank's results are reflective of a trend that may be seen across the banking sector in the next couple of quarters.

Strong credit growth along with rise in lending rates have come at a time when NPA levels have moderated, and treasury incomes are high.

Therefore, higher than expected profit growth is given in the near term. Over time once deposit rates also catch up with the lending rates, the lending margins may moderate.

In fact, Tanushree had predicted last month that the coming quarters for banking sector stocks will be good.
