Canara Bank Share Price: HOLD Rating! NIM squeeze aur Deposit growth ki chinta, Brokerage ne ₹160 ka target diya
Overview

Socho Canara Bank ke investors, Prabhudas Lilladher ne bank par 'HOLD' rating chipka di hai, target rakha hai **₹160** ka. Asal mein, bank ka Net Interest Margin (NIM) thoda kam ho gaya hai, aur deposit badhane mein bhi dikkat aa rahi hai. Asset quality toh sahi hai, par ye do cheezein investors ko thoda pareshan kar rahi hain.

Prabhudas Lilladher ne Canara Bank ke results ko dekha aur unka kehna hai ki bank ka Net Interest Margin (NIM) 2.45% tak gir gaya hai. Ye public sector banks ke average se kaafi kam hai, jo usually 2.7% se 3.1% ke beech hota hai. Is wajah se bank ka Return on Assets (RoA) bhi affect ho raha hai.

Bank 12% se 13% loan growth ka target rakhe hue hai, par deposit badhana mushkil ho raha hai. Bank ka Loan-to-Deposit Ratio (LDR) ab 77% par pahunch gaya hai. January 2026 ke data ke hisab se, stock ₹146-₹150 ke range mein chal raha tha, aur technical indicators toh abhi 'Strong Sell' dikha rahe hain Jan 31, 2026 tak.

Achhi baat yeh hai ki bank ki asset quality sudhar rahi hai. Gross Non-Performing Assets (GNPAs) 3.34% se kam ho kar 2.08% ho gaye hain December 2025 tak, aur Net NPAs bhi 0.45% par aa gaye hain. Ye ek positive sign hai.

Valuation ke hisab se, bank ka stock abhi apne FY28 estimated Book Value ka around 1.0x par trade kar raha hai, aur P/E ratio lagbhag 8.27x hai. Market Cap January 2026 mein ₹1.27 trillion ke aas paas tha. Poore banking sector mein bhi deposit badhane ki dikkat chal rahi hai, loan growth deposit se zyada hai.

Expected Credit Loss (ECL) transition se lagbhag ₹100 billion ka impact ho sakta hai, par bank ka kehna hai ki isse jyada farak nahi padega. Prabhudas Lilladher ka ₹160 ka target usi valuation par based hai jo FY28 ABV ka 1.1x hai. Investors ko ab bank ki deposit mobilization strategy aur NIM trends par nazar rakhni hogi.
