Why Should You Invest in Jana Small Finance Bank IPO?

The banking industry is a primary component of India’s financial sector. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recorded bank credits and bank deposits amounting to Rs. 108.41 trillion and Rs. 152.98 trillion, respectively, as of 25 June 2021. Bank credit and bank deposit rose at a CAGR of 3.57% and 13.93%, respectively, over the financial years 2016-2020. All of these data signify higher credit demand and growth in banking activities, which is a huge plus for financial institutions like Jana Small Finance Bank.

Additionally, a rise in the popularity of small ticket loans post the Covid-19 crisis presents Jana SFB with immense growth opportunities. This is because micro-finance options constitute a primary product of this lending institution, as previously discussed. A consumer loan pattern analysis report published by the TransUnion CIBIL presents personal loans as the lead contributor to sub- Rs. 25,000 loan origination. This has led such small-ticket personal loans to see 23 times the growth in 2020, as compared to 2017. This presents Jana SFB with another growth opportunity for its unsecured financial products and, hence, is another green signal for potential IPO investors. However, performing in-depth research is a must for interested individuals to check if this investment opportunity aligns with their financial goals.

Jana Small Finance Bank IPO - SWOT Analysis

strengths

Strengths

  • Robust banking network: Jana Small Finance Bank boasts of the second-most geographically diversified portfolio among Indian microfinance banks. As of 28 February 2021, this financial institution had 611 branches across India. These include 134 ATMs in 19 states, 229 districts, and 3 UTs, and 166 bank branches in unbanked rural centres.
  • Wide product range: In its quest to make easy funding solutions available to a wider customer base, Jana SFB offers numerous financial products. Among them, popular secured options include loans against FDs, gold, vehicles, MSME loans, and micro-housing finance. This financial institution also offers unsecured funding options, such as agricultural, micro-business, individual, and group loans.
  • Digital presence: The company offers its customers assisted digital onboarding channels against its financial products. Such a digitised platform speeds up the loan application and disbursal process, remarkably increasing customers’ convenience. This enhances accessibility, thus aiding in the company’s objective of financial inclusion.
  • Highly experienced senior management team: Operating in the lending sector for 14 years now, Jana Small Finance Bank boasts of a board of 6 members, including 4 independent directors. Its senior management team has remarkable expertise in financial services.
Weaknesses

Weaknesses

  • Slow recovery from losses: Jana SFB recorded a pre-provision operating loss of Rs. 576.6 crores and credit worth Rs. 1,372.5 crores in FY19. This was right after its net loss of Rs. 2,503.80 crores in 2018. The company has since taken steps to cut operating costs and introduced settlement programmes to deal better with delinquent customers.
Opportunities

Opportunities

  • Growing demand for microfinance: As already mentioned, the mass post-Covid financial crises have led to the popularity of small loans. A majority of borrowers look for funds less than Rs. 25,000 to meet requirements. This acts as great scope for Jana SFB as its primary products concern micro-loans for different purposes, such as business, housing, and more.
  • Sharp rise in MSME loan disbursals: MSMEs form the backbone of India’s economy. These small businesses were also the worst affected by the multiple pandemic-driven lockdowns. However, credit demand by MSMEs recovered to stand at 5% higher than pre-pandemic levels in March this year.
Threats

Threats

  • Rise in NPAs: Non-performing assets or delinquent loans have risen from 7.5% in September 2020 to 13.5% by the same time this year. A primary cause of this is the 2-year restructuring and moratorium on loans that the RBI previously declared to safeguard the interests of economically backwards borrowers.
  • Inadequate capital: The rise in bad loans, especially in the unsecured category, makes it difficult for banks to maintain sufficient capital to mitigate risks. Given the current scenario, banks can absorb only a 7.9% loss, while the current risk exposure stands at 36.9% of total debt in India as per an IMF report.
  • Stunted economic growth: The country’s overall economic growth has taken a backseat at the moment. This is due to the heavy losses incurred by all industries amidst the successive lockdowns. Currently, the banking sector is struggling to thrive until all other sectors recover financially.
