After a rough Q3, City Union Bank’s path remains uncertain

Live Mint  

Shares of City Union Bank fell by almost 16% on Monday. To be sure, slow loan growth, and the lack of deposit mobilisation are a key overhang on the stock, that could exert pressure on net interest margin, going ahead. According to Krishnan, “Deceleration in loan growth is likely to be a common theme for most mid-sized banks including CUB, going forward. Given the sharp spike in deposit pricing and relatively lower branch productivity, mid-sized banks may choose to calibrate their loan growth aspirations.” CUB’s deposit growth in Q3 stood at 7% y-o-y. While deposit mobilisation is key to sustaining net interest margins, slower deposit mobilisation would not affect loan growth for next few quarters due to excess liquidity.
