ICICI Bank’s share price is clocking steady gains on January 27 as the market responds to the strong Q3 results.

The brokerage firm, Motilal Oswal, said that India’s second-largest private lender delivered a remarkable performance for the reporting quarter. This came on the back of credit cost control, lower provisions, lower slippages, and stable asset quality. “The bank’s performance amid the current challenging environment has reminded us of the famous proverb, ‘When the going gets tough, the tough get going!’,” read a research report by the brokerage. It has raised the target price to Rs 1,550 and kept the rating unchanged to ‘Buy’.

Nuvama also maintained a ‘Buy’ given the bank’s strong retail franchise and stable asset quality. The brokerage has kept the target price unchanged at Rs 1,470 per share.

The brokerage house also highlighted the management commentary on the corporate portfolio reiterating that there is “no credit cost incrementally and it is seeing continuous improvement in the quality of the portfolio such as non-fund based outstanding, restructured assets and BB and below portfolio,” also added to the positive sentiment.
